12 ounces Smoked Sausage Options include cajun, andouille, or vegetarian sausage.
2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is always best!
2 tablespoons Butter You can substitute with vegan butter or omit.
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika This ingredient is key for flavor.
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Substitute with dried thyme if necessary.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Toss butternut squash cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes.
Trim and halve Brussels sprouts, tossing them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes until crispy.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta until al dente; save a cup of pasta water before draining.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add sliced sausage, and brown until crispy.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then mix in butter to melt.
Add the cooked pasta, seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss everything to coat, then mix in the roasted veggies and sausage.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Top with grated Parmesan for an extra layer of flavor! Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat gently.
