Summer Squash Pizza

July 24th, 2007 by Fresh

In the local farmer’s market, baskets of summer squash have appeared… zucchini, yellow squash, patty pans, etc. I typically add squash to scrambles and fajitas, but thought I’d try creating a pizza with them.

Summer Squash Pizza

1 ball of pizza dough (I use pre-made ones from Trader Joe’s)
2-3 medium summer squash, sliced into thin strips
Half a small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
Olive oil
Salt and fresh pepper to taste

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan
Add onions, and saute until translucent, approx. 5 min.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, approx. 2 min
Add squash and cook until tender, approx. 7-8 min
Remove from heat

Follow the instructions for oven temperature and preparation of the pizza dough
After rolling out dough, top with cooled squash mixture and drizzle some olive oil on top
Cook according to pizza instructions
Remove and serve immediately
