Delicious Autumn Sausage Pasta with Squash

Print Recipe

A cozy and delicious pasta dish featuring savory sausage, roasted butternut squash, and fresh greens, perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or your choice)
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 8 oz pasta (any shape you prefer)
  • 2 cups spinach or kale
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, warm a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, allowing them to sauté until they soften and become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook the Sausage: Toss in the sausage, cooking until it browns and releases its savory juices.
  4. Incorporate Squash and Broth: Stir in the cubed butternut squash and pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, cover the skillet, and let it simmer until the squash becomes tender, roughly 15-20 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Pasta: While the squash cooks, boil your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Add Greens: Once the squash is softened, introduce the spinach or kale to the skillet, stirring until it wilts.
  7. Combine and Season: Gently fold the cooked pasta into the sausage and squash mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve: Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Consider using sweet Italian turkey sausage for a lighter option or adding roasted red bell peppers for an extra flavor boost.
