1. Roast the Squash
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and caramelized on the edges.

2. Cook the Sausage
While the squash roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside, leaving the flavorful drippings in the pan.

3. Sauté Aromatics
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onion until soft, then add the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Cook the Pasta
Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water.

5. Bring It Together
Add the roasted squash and cooked sausage back to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Toss in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and coat everything in the flavorful sauce.

6. Add Cheese and Herbs
Sprinkle in the Parmesan and stir until melted and creamy. Finish with chopped parsley or sage, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat), and more cheese on top. Serve hot and enjoy!
