Butternut Squash puff Pizza

This recipe is a version of Gordon Ramsay's Butternut squash puff pizza.
With the exception of the pastry, oil, salt and pepper all the ingredients are local Ontario items that can be found in the fall. Butternut squash and sage can even be grown at home. Experiment with this recipe it is a wonderful base for extra ingredients like turkey or pork.

2 packs of frozen phyllo dough
1 medium butternut squash
dried sage
fresh sage
Extra Virgin olive oil
Smoked Cheddar
salt & pepper

Thaw the phyllo dough. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Roll the dough out into two squares that line the baking sheet.
Overlap the seam and roll flat. Score a 20-30mm border around the edge.

Peel and chop the butternut squash into cubes.
Saute the squash in a hot pan with the oil. (make sure the pan is hot before the oil goes in or the squash may be greasy)
season with salt and pepper.
Bake the squash for 20 min in a 350 degree oven.

Lightly dust the dough with the dried sage.
Sprinkle a small amount of the cheddar on top.
Place the butternut squash on next.
Finish with more cheese and the fresh sage.

Bake at 350 until the edges puff up and turn golden brown.
Remove it from the tray by sliding the dough off before cutting.
