Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz Bow Tie Pasta The base of the dish, perfect for holding onto the rich sauce and flavors.
For the Roasted Vegetables
  • 1 medium Butternut Squash Adds sweetness and texture; can substitute with acorn squash or sweet potatoes.
  • 2 cups Brussels Sprouts Provides earthy flavor; can swap with broccoli or green beans.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Essential for roasting; may use vegetable oil as a substitute.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Use fresh cloves and avoid burning for best flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 12 oz Cooked Smoked Sausage Adds savory protein; can try Cajun or Andouille for spice.
  • 4 tbsp Butter Helps create a rich sauce; may use olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Introduces subtle smokiness; use regular paprika for milder flavor.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Toss cubed butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until golden and tender.
  3. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the oven and roast for 20-30 minutes until crispy.
  4. Cook bow tie pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving a bit of pasta water.
  5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add sliced smoked sausage, and cook until browned, then set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in butter until melted.
  7. Add cooked bow tie pasta into the skillet with garlic and butter. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then toss to coat.
  8. Gently fold in roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, browned sausage, and fresh thyme. Adjust seasoning and enjoy!
