Soak your cashews for 1 hour in hot water before making the pizza. When ready, add your pizza stone to the oven and preheat the oven to 450F.

First, make the garlic cashew sauce. Add the soaked cashews and garlic to a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Then, add in the water, salt, pepper, & nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Before rolling out your pizza dough, lightly flour the surface. Then, roll the dough into desired shape. Remove the pizza stone from the oven and add the pre-shaped dough on top.

Spread the garlic cashew sauce on top of the dough and use a spatula to smooth evenly across the pizza (without covering the crust). Then, layer on the butternut squash and Bartlett Pear slices. Finally, drizzle with chili oil & season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil to help it crisp.

Add the pizza to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is browned and crisp. Let the pizza cool slightly then top with fresh arugula and basil. Enjoy!
