Ingredients:

  • 1 LC Thin Crust Pizza Shell
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin, cubed
  • 4 Slices Canadian bacon or regular bacon
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Add the fresh pumpkin cubes to the skillet and cook until soft and browned, about 6 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, ½ cup of the mozzarella, the parmesan cheese and the chopped basil.
  • Spread the ricotta cheese mixture onto the LC Thin Crust Pizza Shell, leaving ½ inch border.
  • Top with the bacon and pumpkin and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of mozzarella on top.
