Ingredients:
For the butternut squash spaghetti:
- 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and spiralized
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sausage and sage sauce:
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, toss the spiralized butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
3. While the squash is roasting, prepare the sausage and sage sauce. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
4. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sage and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the butternut squash is done roasting, add it to the skillet with the sausage and sage sauce. Toss to combine.
8. Serve the butternut squash spaghetti with sausage and sage hot, garnished with fresh sage leaves and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
