Sausage & Butternut Squash Pasta

recipe

• Step 1
  In a pot of salted, boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a ladle of water before draining the pasta. Set aside.
• Step 2
  As the pasta cooks, slice the sausage into rounds. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage & sear until browned on both sides, about 5-7 min. Transfer the sausage to a bowl & set aside.
• Step 3
  In the same pot, add the butternut squash. Stir until evenly coated in the oils. Cook for 10-15 more min, until heated through & tender.
• Step 4
  Grate in the garlic & stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low & stir in the spinach. Add a splash of reserved pasta water. Mix it all together & cover the pot. Steam until the spinach is wilted.
• Step 5
  Uncover the pot & stir. Add the pasta & sausage to the pot. Toss it all together. Serve & enjoy!
