Enjoy the tastes of summer with this delicious Ricotta Squash Blossom Pizza. A great fall treat has fresh squash blossoms, creamy ricotta, and a crunchy crust.

Ingredients: 1 pizza dough. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese. 8-10 fresh squash blossoms. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Instructions: Set your oven to 475F 245C before you start cooking. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the thickness you want. Place the dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Slice the garlic and mix it with the ricotta cheese in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spread the ricotta mixture out evenly on the pizza dough, making sure to leave some space around the edges for the crust. Take the stems off of the squash blossoms and carefully open them up. Take out any stamens that are inside. On top of the ricotta mix, put the squash blossoms. Put a little olive oil on the pizza and the squash blossoms. On top of the pizza, put grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. It should be baked in a hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and a little browned. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for one minute before cutting it. Add fresh basil leaves on top and serve hot. Have fun with your tasty Ricotta Squash Blossom Pizza!
