I've been getting a bit more inspired to cook lately - the shorter and colder days have me craving some homemade comfort food and cozying up inside. I took a screenshot of a "recipe" on Instagram recently and it looked so easy and delicious that I just had to try it out. It was for a Pesto Pasta with Sausage and Roasted Delicata Squash and I was able to whip it up in no time using just the picture and ingredient list as a guide. This can be tailored to whatever you like or have on hand and makes a great weeknight dish for these cold winter nights. Enjoy!
Pesto Pasta with Sausage & Delicata Squash
Ingredients
1 lb brown rice pasta
1 package Trader Joe's Kale Pesto {or favorite pesto}
3 links Sweet Italian Sausage
1-2 Delicata squash, peeled, sliced, and cored
Olive oil, salt, & pepper
Sage leaves
A few handfuls of kale or spinach
Feta or Parmesan to top
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400. Place sliced squash in single layer on parchment lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Roast about 20 minutes {or until done}, flipping squash halfway through.
2. Cook pasta as directed.
3. Remove casings from sausage links. Cook until browned, breaking up into small pieces. Add sage & kale and cook a few more minutes until wilted.
4. Add pesto to drained pasta and mix thoroughly. Add sausage mixture to pot and mix. Serve topped with squash and cheese of choice.
