@girl_with_a_recipe: FALL BUTTERNUT SQUASH, KALE & SAUSAGE PASTA 🍂🧀 INGREDIENTS: * 1 lb rigatoni pasta * 1 lb Italian sausage, ground turkey or protein of choice, casings removed if necessary *1 butternut squash, peeled and diced *1 yellow onion, diced *1 fennel or leek, chopped *4 cloves garlic, minced *1 head curly kale, stems removed and chopped *1 cup dry white wine *1 cup heavy cream *½ tsp red pepper flakes *1 tbsp dried sage *1 tbsp unsalted butter *1/2 tbsp dried thyme *½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving *Olive oil, as needed *Salt and black pepper, to taste *Reserved pasta water, as needed DIRECTIONS: *Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast about 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. *Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni pasta. Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water before draining. While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage or meat of choice to the skillet, breaking it into crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, sage and thyme. Remove from the skillet and set aside. *In the same skillet, add diced onion and fennel or leek. Sauté for approximately 8–10 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slightly. *Transfer roasted butternut squash to a blender or food processor with approximately ½ cup reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding additional pasta water as needed. *Pour the butternut squash purée into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in heavy cream, chopped kale, and cooked ground turkey. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 3–5 minutes, until the kale is tender and the sauce is heated through. *Add cooked pasta along with butter and parmesan. Toss until pasta is evenly coated. #cozyfallrecipes #fallrecipes #atlprivatechef
