<b>Sauce</b><br />
Cup of Tomatoes<br />
Cup of Pumpkin<br />
4 cloves of garlic<br />
Sugar to taste<br />
olive oil<br />
<br />
Boil tomater, garlic and pumkin, drain and mash. Return to heat and add olive oil and sugar for 10 mins until sauce looks like a pizza sauce ( y'know like...)<br />
<br />
Put in a fridge and cool...<br />
<br />
Roast the Pumpkin, Squash and Corgette ( i got a nice yellow one!) whole, with a doucing of olive oil and salt. Leave to cool and chop into slices<br />
<br />
Prep the pizza base, apply sauce first, mozzerella second. Then follow up with basil, squash, pumpkin, and corgette. Drizzle with oil and put in oven until cooked (? until it looks cooked i suppose)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmq9_7XzO_7KtHwbK0WDG2DZKg7oMlcmPpYveu4Lv1eSMJaat6J-0v39NtlUfW_jXizWLngV8nrTil9QBbTW02AjMe195mh5KIWxtMAxdOV_PAG1Y2J_yb0IDi38TcMGuiyZN3AJxQ5U/s1600/DSCF1449.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmq9_7XzO_7KtHwbK0WDG2DZKg7oMlcmPpYveu4Lv1eSMJaat6J-0v39NtlUfW_jXizWLngV8nrTil9QBbTW02AjMe195mh5KIWxtMAxdOV_PAG1Y2J_yb0IDi38TcMGuiyZN3AJxQ5U/s640/DSCF1449.JPG" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div><br />
