- Heat oil in a medium heavy pot over medium-high. Cook sausage, breaking up into about 1" pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, 5-7 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
- Combine milk, cream, and 2 cups water in a large bowl or glass measuring cup. Stirring sausage mixture constantly, slowly stream in milk mixture; bring to a simmer. Add 1 1/4 cups Parmesan and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted. Add squash, pasta, garlic, sage, salt, and nutmeg and toss to combine, making sure pasta is covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and bring to a bare simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, squash is beginning to break down, and sauce is reduced and glossy, about 20 minutes.
- Pluck out and discard sage. Transfer pasta to a platter. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and a few cranks of pepper.
ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE AND SQUASH
In this easy sheet-pan supper, sweet Italian sausages are teamed with wedges of cabbage and kabocha squash, then the whole thing is drizzled with a mustardy apple-cider vinaigrette. Because cabbage releases moisture when cooked, start with a preheated baking sheet for extra browning power.

- Stir together vinegar, mustard, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Serve sausages and vegetables with a drizzle of vinaigrette.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for yellow squash that is firm and has smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is soft, bruised, or has any discoloration.
- Prepare the squash properly: Wash the squash thoroughly and cut off the ends. If the squash is large, you may need to cut it into smaller pieces.
- Cook the squash until it is tender: You can cook the squash in a variety of ways, such as boiling, roasting, or sautéing. Cook the squash until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Add flavor to the squash: You can add flavor to the squash by seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, or spices. You can also add other ingredients to the squash, such as cooked sausage, vegetables, or cheese.
- Serve the squash immediately: Yellow squash is best served immediately after it is cooked. However, you can also store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Yellow squash is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. When cooked properly, yellow squash has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with a variety of other ingredients. Whether you are looking for a side dish, a main course, or a snack, yellow squash is a healthy and delicious option.
