Servings 8
Ingredients
- Keto Thin Crust Pizza Dough
- 1-2 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1/4 cup Yellow Onion minced
- 1 tsp. Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh Thyme or Sage Leaves
- 1/4 lb Spicy Italian Sausage
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella
- Garnish- Arugula optional and Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 F. Prep your pizza dough of choice or the Keto Thin Crust Pizza Dough recipe listed above.
- In a saute pan over medium low heat, add the olive oil and saute the garlic and onion until fragrant and tender. Season the garlic and onion with salt and pepper. Add in the pumpkin puree and then whisk in the heavy cream until the sauce is heated through and add in the fresh thyme or sage. Set the sauce aside.
- Cook your sausage until browned and drain any grease. Assemble the crust and par bake for 5 minutes (if using my recipe), then swirl on the sauce, sprinkle on the sausage, and then top with cheese. Bake for another 5-8 minutes until the crust is cooked, the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned too. Remove from the oven and top with a little arugula and some red pepper flakes if desired.
