Autumn Sausage Pasta Squash: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. pasta (such as penne or fusilli)
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, based on preference)
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups spinach, fresh
  • 1 tsp. dried sage
  • ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  3. Push the squash to the side of the skillet and add the Italian sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the spinach, dried sage, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat, just until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld.
  7. Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Transfer the pasta to serving bowls, topping each with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by varying red pepper flakes.
  • Substitute other vegetables for butternut squash if desired.
