Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and beautifully caramelized.
- In a separate bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on another baking sheet and let them roast for about 20-30 minutes until tender and nicely browned.
Cooking
- While the veggies are roasting, boil a large pot of salted water and cook the bow tie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve a cup of that starchy pasta water before draining!
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage slices and brown them for about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the cooked pasta into the garlic and butter mixture, ensuring everything is well coated. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Gently fold in the roasted squash, Brussels sprouts, browned sausage, and fresh thyme. Mix it all together and serve immediately.

Notes
Serve warm in deep bowls with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves on top. Pairs well with a light side salad or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
