How to Make Delicious Autumn Sausage Pasta Squash

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes.
• Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming and halving them. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 20-30 minutes.
• Cook the bow tie pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced smoked sausage, and cook until browned, around 3-5 minutes.
• Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the butter and let it melt.
• Combine the cooked pasta in the skillet with the garlic butter, seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
• Fold in the roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and cooked sausage. Gently mix to combine.
• Top with freshly grated Parmesan or chopped nuts if desired.
