what's not to love about the following items: sausage, pasta, butternut squash and apples. Therefore you should be able to put them all together in one lovely scrummy yummy pot of delishiness.
Pasta with creamy sausage sauce
4 pork sausages casings removed or 250sausagemeat
2 tbsp oil (omit if using non-stick pan)
225g / 1 cup of cubed roasted butternut squash (I like to roast the squash and then freeze it in portions to defrost and use when needed.)
1 granny smith apple, peeled, and diced.
150 ml water
3/4 tsp dried sage
a little less than 1/4cup of flour
450 ml/ 2 cups milk (we use soy milk to make it dairy free)
250g cooked pasta small shells
Cook the pasta as you do and drain it. While that's cooking, get out a large saucepan and put the oil and sausagemeat in it. Break up the sausage into chunks as you cook it, if you aren't using a non stick pan, then get ready for some scraping and an arm workout as the sausage cooks!
Add in the apple and the water and cook till apple is softish. Add in the butternut squash-- it will not stay in cubes it will fall apart and just look lovely. Add the sage. Add a bit of veggie stock cube if you want. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until sausage is cooked through, then add the flour and stir it together. Then slowly add the milk 1 cup at a time, stirring all the while. Simmer on a low/med heat until thickened but not gloopy. add more milk if you want to. Stir in your cooked pasta and mix it all together. Serves 4 people if you serve a side salad and bread. Serves 2 fairly hungry adults and 1 toddler with 1 adult meal leftover if you just serve it as a main dish.
