Orecchiette with Sausage & Butternut Squash - The Original Dish

It’s a rustic-style pasta that comes together in one pan and has lots of satisfying flavor in every bite. This orecchiette with sausage & butternut squash is a pasta dish that’s made in a really rustic “toss everything together” type of way, with the sauce being made up of just pasta water and olive oil, so there’s a lot of focus on the ingredients – caramelized butternut squash, spicy italian chicken sausage, wilted greens, cannellini beans, fresh sage, and pecorino romano.

It’s full of all the cozy flavor and hearty ingredients that we crave this time of year. Apart from the pasta boiling in a large pot, the rest of the dish comes together in just one pan. The ingredients are sautéed individually so they have room to groove and caramelize really well. Baked Gnocchi - Giadzy.

Adding nutmeg, sage and a decent amount of full fat coconut cream, this turned pumpkin soup into a lush, creamy and flavoursome sauce which goes equally with simple dried pasta or fresh filled pasta such as Agnolotti or the larger sized ravioli.

A nice hunk of rustic bread would be great to mop up the excess sauce here too. Orzo pasta salad with mixed herbs and summer squash. I’m not much of a 4th of July celebrator.
