I was totally looking forward to pizza this week!  I have been thinking about pizza so much that I’m already planning next week’s concoction and hoping it works out.

Pizza is taking over mah brainz!

This week’s pizza even has a surprise twist at the end! It’s like OHC’s own cheesy TV show.

Get it? Cheesy? Pizza has cheese?

Alright whatever, it’s been a long week.  Work with me.  Mmkay?

Here we go!

• Spelt Crust
• Pizza Sauce (Scott’s half)
• Spinach and sundried tomato dip (my half)
• Shredded moz, parm, and asiago
• Red onion
• Chopped artichokes
• Spinach and feta chicken sausage
• Mushrooms (Scott’s half)

Alright here’s where the twist comes in.  I made the spinach and sundried tomato dip like normal, THEN I added in a bit of pureed butternut squash.

OH YES I DID!

I can buy cans of it from Whole Foods during the holidays.  I believe TJ’s has some all year long.  Or you can get frozen or fresh, roast it and puree it yourself. Whichever works for you.

This made the best freaking base ever and took that dip up to another level completely.  It was amazing! And thankfully I have more dip leftover!

I bet a butternut puree base with caramelized onions and goat cheese would be amazing.  Maybe bacon and apples or pears too?  Or not to the bacon if pig isn’t your thing.  But you get the picture, B-NUT Pizza FTW!
