Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain in a colander.
- If using whole sausage links, crumble into bite-size chunks, and set aside.
- Cut through the butternut squash to separate the neck from the lower, round part. We only need the neck of the squash for the spiralizer (save the other part to roast or add to a soup). Peel the neck of the squash and spiralize it on a thin noodle setting. Use kitchen scissors to cut the strands into a length similar to spaghetti.
- Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat, and add the oil. Cook the sausage for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Add the garlic, sage, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Stirring, cook for 1 minute.
- Add the butternut squash noodles to the pan, and toss to combine. Add the wine, cover, and cook until the squash is just starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the kale and toss to combine. Stir in the milk and mustard and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add about half of the pasta and toss to combine. Add the cheese and remaining pasta and toss again. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Note 1: If you avoid oil, vegetable broth may be used to saute the garlic. And try this oil-free vegan Italian sausage and my vegan Parmesan.
- Note 2: For gluten-free, go with my homemade tofu sausage or Beyond sausages.
