Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
12 oz. Italian sausage (about 3 links), casings removed
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan, divided
1/2 large butternut squash (about 1 lb.), peeled, seeded, chopped into 1/2" pieces

1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 sprig sage
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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.

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE AND SQUASH



Roasted Sausages with Cabbage and Squash image

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 kabocha squash (1 pound), seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 head green cabbage (1 pound), cut lengthwise through core into 4 wedges
4 sweet Italian sausages (1 pound total), each pierced with a fork in a few places
1 medium red onion (8 ounces), thinly sliced into rings
Leaves from 2 sage sprigs
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack. Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons oil to baking sheet, then cabbage, squash, and sausages in a single layer. Drizzle cabbage with more oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
  • Toss onion and sage with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Flip sausages and vegetables; add onion mixture to sheet. Continue to roast until vegetables are tender and sausages are cooked, 20 minutes.
  • 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.
