 WHAT YOU NEED

 

Extra virgin olive oil

 

3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots

 

8 ounces mild or spicy ground sausage (turkey, pork or chicken)

 

4 naan breads

 

1 cup canned pumpkin puree



A few pinches of dried oregano

 

4 to 5 ounces grated Fontina cheese

 

2/3 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese

 

2 to 3 Tbsp. fresh sage leaves

 

Hot honey and cracked black pepper for garnish (balsamic glaze would also be delicious)

 


HOW TO MAKE IT

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

 

Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in skillet over medium heat; add shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

 

Crumble sausage into pan and cook until browned, about 6 to 7 minutes.

 

Spoon pumpkin puree evenly over each bread, and sprinkle with a little dried oregano.



Add fontina cheese evenly over each bread, followed by sausage and shallot mixture.

 

Spoon small dollops of ricotta on top.

 

Place sage leaves in a small bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp. olive oil, rubbing oil into leaves. Scatter sage leaves over each naan bread, and lightly drizzle each with olive oil.

 

Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp.

 

Drizzle each pizza with hot honey and garnish with cracked black pepper.
