Ingredients

Sauce
- 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) diced tomatoes
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Pizza
- 2 cups (500 g) butternut squash, peeled and cut into half-moons 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick
- 1/4 lb (115 g) slab bacon, diced
- 4 thick Greek-style pitas, each about 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter
- 1/4 cup (20 g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Preparation

Sauce
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl. Using a potato masher, crush the tomatoes into a smooth purée. Season with salt and pepper.
Pizza
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- On the prepared sheet, toss the squash and bacon with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until the squash is cooked through. Set the mixture aside in a bowl and remove the silicone mat or parchment paper from the baking sheet. Adjust the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the pitas directly on the baking sheet. Spread with the sauce and top with the squash and bacon. Sprinkle with the cheese and season with pepper.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the pitas are nicely golden.
