Butternut Squash and Pecorino Romano Pizza
Butternut Squash is sweet, earthy and rich where pecorino romano is savory, tangy and umami, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Roasted butternut squash cubes add a velvety, naturally sweet autumn richness. A sharp, salty sheep's milk cheese that adds an intense, savory punch when grated over pizza. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
