  4. Arrange naan breads on the prepared baking sheet and spread a layer of canned pumpkin puree on each naan.
  5. Distribute the grated Fontina cheese over the pumpkin layer, followed by the cooked sausage and shallot mixture.
  6. Make dollops of ricotta cheese on top, then drizzle the sage with remaining olive oil and scatter over the naan.
