Always on the hunt to find uses for butternut squash. This is a delicious addition to a pizza and there is the lovely benefit of veggie vitamins. Did not have any Italian sausage in the freeze or frig, but I did have some fresh ground pork. So, I cooked the raw pork crumbles, seasoned heavily with Italian seasonings, garlic and onion and topped a boboli crust with a butternut squash/marinara base as a sauce and it worked. It was a good supper with a fresh salad.
