Pasta in Cream with Butternut Squash and Sausage

Pasta in Cream with Butternut Squash and Sausage
By: Cristina Bancheri

Outta 10: This is a recipe that Andria's mom randomly came up with a few years ago trying to figure out what to do with some leftover butternut squash. It is SO FREAKING GOOD. Since then, we request this all the time and vary the kinds of sausage we throw in it. This is for sure our first 10/10.

Comments and Substitutions: We always change the kind of pasta, the kind of sausage and the type of cream. It's like a mix-and match. This time we used light cream, chorizo sausage and fetuccine (gluten-free).

Recipe:

Butternut squash
4 Sausages (any sausage that you enjoy - Mild italian, spicy italian, chorizo etc.)
2 cups Cream (light or heavy - you can also change amount)
Pasta (your choice of what kind)

1. Peel and chop up a butternut squash into cubes.

2. Remove sausage from casing and brown in a large sauce pan.

3. Once sausage is browned, add squash and cover, cooking for about 15 mins until squash is tender.

4. In the meantime, boil a pot of water and cook pasta according to directions.
Rice pasta
Finished!

5. Once squash is cook add cream and heat through.

6. Mix pasta with sauce and enjoy!

Stay Hungry!!
