Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a large bowl, toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the squash on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in one layer, without overcrowding.
- Roast in the preheated oven at 400 F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat.
- Add crumbled sausage and cook for about 10 minutes, regularly stirring, until the sausage is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Tip: Cook the sausage while the butternut squash is being roasted.
- In a separate, large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil together with minced garlic and spinach over medium heat. Cook, occasionally stirring, for about 5 or 7 minutes until spinach starts to wilt.
- Add heavy cream. Bring to a brief boil, then immediately reduce to simmer (boiling but not intensely). Add shredded Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring the sauce with the Parmesan cheese on low to medium boil (simmer) until the cheese melts. Remove from heat.
- Season with salt to taste, about 1/4 teaspoon of salt. No salt might be necessary if the sausage is very salty.
- Tip: Use your judgment about whether to add salt or not based on how salty the sausage is. Make the cream sauce while the butternut squash is being roasted.
- Cook pasta al dente in boiling water according to package instructions. That usually means cooking pasta in boiling water for about 7 to 11 minutes. Drain.
- To a large skillet with the creamy spinach sauce, add drained cooked pasta and cooked sausage. Stir. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Top the pasta with roasted butternut squash. Stir the squash in, or leave it on top.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put the squash and sausage in a large baking dish. Add the oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss to combine. Spread the mixture into an even layer and drizzle with the maple syrup. Add 1/4 cup water, then sprinkle with the panko. Roast until the squash is tender, about 35 minutes.
- Heat the broiler and brown the top, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves.
SPICY SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE AND SQUASH
Like chicken thighs, whose rendered skin leaves behind a puddle of schmaltz for frying vegetables, bread or beans, sausage yields a delicious fat for cooking. Paired with butternut squash and crisped in a hot oven, its spicy fat slicks the sweet squash, while parsley and lemon cut through all the richness. Feel free to switch up the squash for carrots, broccoli, potatoes: Any vegetables that are good roasted will work well in that liquid gold. If the meal seems light, bulk it up by topping with a cup of feta or rinsed canned chickpeas, adding arugula or watercress to the parsley, or serving it all on a bed of kale or mustard greens, like a warm salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees and stick a large baking sheet in the oven. Prep the squash and sausage: Cut the squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices crosswise in half. Transfer to a large bowl. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to the bowl with the squash, then stir to coat with the olive oil and fat pinches of salt and pepper.
- When the oven comes to temperature, carefully dump the squash and sausage mixture onto the hot baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Roast, stirring every so often to coat the squash in the rendered fat, until the squash is tender and sausages are crisp and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (To add some color, put them under the broiler for a minute or two.) Let cool slightly while you prepare the parsley.
- In a small bowl, mix together the parsley and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the sausage diagonally in thirds. Serve the sausage and squash on a platter with a pile of parsley on top and sprinkled with an extra squeeze of lemon and flaky salt, if desired.

Tips
- Choose the right butternut squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or blemishes.
- Roast the butternut squash properly. Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Use a good quality sausage. The sausage is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a sausage that you enjoy the flavor of. I recommend using a sweet Italian sausage or a spicy chorizo sausage.
- Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is pasta that is cooked to the point where it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a creamy sauce. The creamy sauce in this dish helps to bring all the flavors together. You can use a simple white sauce made with butter and flour, or you can use a more flavorful sauce made with cream, cheese, or vegetables.
Conclusion
Butternut squash, sausage, and bow ties is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted butternut squash is sweet and flavorful, the sausage is savory and spicy, and the bow ties are cooked to perfection. The creamy sauce brings all the flavors together and makes this dish irresistible. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
