PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, SQUASH AND SAGE BROWN BUTTER
Whether you're after a night in with your special someone or your sweatpants, this is your pasta: a cozy combination of spicy sausage and squash that's glossed with nutty, sage-spiked butter and Parmesan. It's inspired by the cavatelli with sausage and browned sage butter at Frankies 457 Spuntino in Brooklyn - the most ordered dish on dates, according to the owners, but appealing no matter the occasion, according to us. The key to making the dish sing is the unsexy color (brown). You'll want to get a hard sear on the sausage and the squash, and let the butter bubble until brown and toasty. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, omit the sausage. The meat will be gone, but the comfort won't be.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook the sausage: In a sauté pan or skillet large enough to hold all the pasta, add the sausage and enough cold water to cover. Set over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat when the water hits a boil, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the sausage to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch coins. Dry out the pan and return it to the stove.
- In the same pan, heat the olive oil over high until nearly smoking. Add the sausage and cook, flipping once, until dark brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the squash and a pinch of salt to the pan. Let cook, stirring briefly and scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
- While the squash is browning, add pasta to boiling water, and cook to al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta.
- When the squash is nicely browned, add the butter and sage and cook until the butter is golden, nutty smelling and foaming, just a minute or two, then immediately remove the pan from the heat and add back the sausage.
- Add the pasta to the pan and mix with the brown-butter sauce (if the pasta has cooled off quite a bit, return the pan to low heat while you combine everything). Stir in the cheese, then add pasta water as needed to smooth the sauce. Adjust with salt and pepper, and serve with extra Parmesan, if you like.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings. (If there's less than 2 tablespoons, add some olive oil.)
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the squash, toss to coat with the oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the chili powder and some pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the squash is deep golden brown and just tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. (Add a few tablespoons of water if the squash is getting too dark or dry before it's tender.) Remove to the bowl with the sausage.
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, which is usually a minute or two less than the box calls for. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and add about half the kale and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, tossing, until wilted, adding more kale as each batch wilts. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. The whole process will take about 3 minutes. Some of the kale will be browned and some less cooked-that's fine!
- Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pan, then the squash, sausage, pasta and a generous amount of pepper. Cook, carefully tossing with 2 big spoons to avoid mashing the squash, until well combined and the pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes. If it seems dry, add more of the reserved cooking water. Top with shaved parmesan.
ORICHETTE PASTA WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAGE & ITALIAN SAUSAG
This is really amazing, colorful and oh so tasty! The combination of sweet squash combined with sage, sweet or spicy Italian sausage is incredible! The Orichette pasta, "Little lamb ears" is perfect for this dish. I cooked the squash and sausage ahead of time, and set aside. This worked well since everything is heated through before cooking. This recipe was passed along to me from a GF. She's been bragging on it for years. I finally made it and now wonder WTH took me so long! From: Traditional Home, Sept. 2006 Although this recipe states that it serves 6-8, I think it serves 4-6 as a main dish. Serve with a green salad and sautéed haricot verts, some crusty bread and you have a lovely meal! Oh, don't forget the vino :D
