Instructions

Add butternut squash to large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 12-15 minutes or until squash is soft. Drain water and blend squash in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat until oil is shimmery. Add sage leaves and fry for about 1 minute, then remove to a paper towel while leaves are still green. Slice sage leaves into thin slices and set aside.
Soak up most of the olive oil with a paper towel and discard. Add buttery spread and swirl around pan until it is melted. Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Remove sausage from casings and crumble into pan, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking and breaking apart sausage until it is mostly cooked through. Drain excess liquid.
Add butternut squash, baby spinach, sliced sage leaves and Parmesan cheese and mix well.
Microwave zucchini noodles for 1 1/2 minutes, then add to a large bowl. Add squash and sausage mixture on top of the zucchini noodles, then garnish with remaining sage leaves and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

You can cut down on some of the fat and sodium in this recipe by replacing 2 of the sausage links with 1/2 lb of extra lean ground turkey.
