Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 340 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 225 g bow tie pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 340 g cooked smoked sausage (cajun, andouille, or regular smoked sausage)
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast at 200°C for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice sausage into coins and cook until browned on both sides. Remove sausage and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, cook minced garlic until fragrant. Add butter and melt. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  6. Add roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, cooked sausage, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Gently mix to combine everything. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Roast vegetables on the same baking sheet if space allows.
