One Pot Fall Pasta

A favorite to support all of your fall training!

Ingredients:

• 12-16 oz chicken sausage, I used apple flavored

• 2-3 cups butternut squash, cubed ( you can also buy frozen/ pre cubed to save time)

• 1 onion, medium

• olive oil spray

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp coriander

• nutmeg, pinch

• 1 bag spinach or kale, chopped

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 16 oz pasta, measured uncooked

• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

• Start by cooking your pasta in salted water.
  

• Reserve some of the cooking liquid for later to help bring together the dish. Set pasta aside in separate large bowl.
  

• Slice your chicken sausage and add it to the pot you cooked the pasta in  with olive oil spray.
  

• Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from the pot once browned.
  

• Add one chopped onion to the pot along with the cubed squash and spices. Sauté for 10 minutes until tender, not mushy.
  

• Add greens and the broth to wilt.
  

• Add the cooked pasta back to the pot. Add nutmeg and coriander.
  

• Stir in the parmesan cheese. You can add some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup at a time) to help bring the dish together, or omit altogether.

• Garnish with fresh parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
