Butternut Squash and Walnut Pizza
Butternut Squash and walnut both lean earthy and rich, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Roasted butternut squash cubes add a velvety, naturally sweet autumn richness. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
