Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, 30–40 minutes. Add the sage and cook for another 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 260°C (if you don't have a pizza stone, use an upside-down baking sheet).

  3. Using a parchment-lined pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, stretch half the dough into a 25cm circle. Top with half the ricotta, half the Parmesan, a good pinch of salt and a little black pepper, half the onion, and half the pumpkin pieces. Brush the pumpkin with a thin layer of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the pizza on a pizza stone (or preheated baking sheet) and bake until the crust and squash are lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining toppings on the other half of the dough.
  5. While the pizza is baking, drizzle the arugula with lemon juice, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and season with pepper. Top the pizza with the arugula salad and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan and crushed red pepper.
