INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup thinly sliced onion
• 1/2 butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust dough
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place sliced onion and squash in a roasting pan. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; toss to coat.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until onions are lightly browned and squash is tender; set aside.
3. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll each ball of dough into an 8 inch round. Place the rounds on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (you may need 2 baking sheets depending on their size). Distribute squash mixture over the two rounds and continue baking for 10 minutes, checking occasionally, or until the crust is firm. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining tablespoon olive oil. Cut into quarters, and serve.

Review:  This recipe is so delicious.  If you love butternut squash you are going to be amazed at how many different things you can use the base mixture on.   allrecipes.com

Serves 4

Miso is made from fermenting soybeans, barley and rice and is available in white, yellow, red and brown. Generally, the darker the miso the longer it has fermented and the more complex its flavor will be. Look for miso in the refrigerated section near meat substitutes and dairy products.

Ingredients

6 cups vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 pound dried udon or somen noodles
1/2 pound frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, uncooked
1/2 pound (about 2 1/2 cups) frozen broccoli florets
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons white or mellow miso, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method

In a large pot, bring broth to a boil. Submerge noodles in broth, arranging them across the bottom of the pot, cover and simmer until noodles are somewhat tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Scatter shrimp and broccoli over noodles, cover and simmer until shrimp are just cooked through, broccoli is bright green and noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Meanwhile, whisk together water, miso and ginger in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.

Turn off heat and uncover pot. Stir in miso mixture and green onions then transfer soup to bowls. Garnish with pepper flakes and serve.
