Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium-high. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until onion begins to turn translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and chopped butternut squash and cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chicken broth and bring to a full boil.

Step 4

Add the penne pasta, Italian seasoning and sea salt, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced sausage and greens and stir. Cook and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated, about another 2-5 minutes.

Step 6

Once much of the liquid has cooked off, add the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and sage. Gently stir to avoid breaking the noodles. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, and enjoy.
