- 15 ml (1 tbsp) water
- 5 ml (1 tsp) dried herbs

Pizzas
- 4 whole wheat tortillas

Preparation
- After pre-cooking the butternut squash halves in the oven, cut in half lengthwise for 40 minutes at 400F (200C), scoop out 1 cup of cooked butternut squash and transfer it to a food processor or blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients and let the blender run for about 1 minute. Add water if the consistency is too thick for your taste.
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic in the hot oil. Add plant-based ground meat or regular ground meat to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chopped spinach and continue cooking over medium heat for 2 minutes. (More if using meat and it is still pink).
- Place the tortillas on oven-safe baking sheets then spread about 30 ml (2 tbsp) of sauce on each tortilla. Add the plant-based or regular meat mixture, diced tomatoes, chopped olives, and shredded cheese.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 8 minutes at 350F (175C) or until desired doneness is achieved.
