Recipe View Add the roasted butternut squash and onion to the skillet with the sausage. Stir in the cooked pasta and gradually pour in the heavy cream. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Recipe View Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, ensuring it doesn't burn. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.

For a vegetarian option, omit the turkey sausage and add a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans for texture.
Fresh sage will provide a more vibrant flavor than dried sage.
Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your liking, depending on its acidity.
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, makes an excellent topping for this dish.
