Squash Pizza with Pinenuts

Yes. Yes it is one more squash post.  Please don’t abandon me. I promise to mix it up, but as mentioned, I have a crush on squash. And this one is really good! I promise.  I started with a recipe from Real Simple that I found in my binder. I switched out the butternut squash for Delicata and the second time around, I used a yellow onion.  Still tastes great.  The fun part is, the second time I made it, I got to use my new food processor for the first time.  I think I am in love!
