Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add crumbled sausage, and cook for about 10 minutes until browned. Then, transfer sausage to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add spinach and cook for 5-7 minutes until wilted.
- Pour in heavy cream, heat to a brief boil, then lower the heat to simmer gently.
- Mix in grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts. Add salt to taste.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add farfalle pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.
- In the skillet with the sauce, fold in cooked sausage and roasted butternut squash. Stir in drained pasta, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired creaminess.
- Plate the pasta, garnish with additional Parmesan and black pepper, serve hot.
