Once cooked, remove the outer layer and blitz in a processor into a soupy consistency.
Blanch the kale in hot water for 1 minute. Dry and sprinkle with olive oil.
Stretch the pizza dough over plenty of semolina.
Spoon the pureed pumpkin puree over the pizza base and add kale, sliced red chilli.
Pour a little basil oil over the top of the pizza.
Sprinkle with dried oregano.
