Pumpkin and Ricotta Pizza
Pumpkin is sweet and earthy where ricotta is fresh and rich, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Roasted pumpkin slices bring a subtle, earthy sweetness and beautiful autumn color. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
