1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

1 TB pine nuts

2 lb Italian Turkey sausage (hot or mild, up to you) Olive oil water salt pepper

Roast Squash

On baking sheet or board, toss squash with @ TB olive oil, salt and pepper.  Arrange in a single layer and roast until tender, about 20 minutes.

 

Roast Broccoli Rabe

While squash roasts, on a separate baking sheet or board, toss broccoli rabe with 2-3 Tb olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, shaved Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.

Arrange in a single layer and roast until tender, about 8 minutes.

Toast Pine Nuts

While veggies roast, place pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat.  Toast, stirring until golden brown, around 3-5 minutes.  Keep stirring because they can easily burn, and that doesn’t taste good.

Remove from pan when golden and set aside.

Cook Sausage

Heat 2 TB olive oil in medium pan over medium heat.  Add turkey sausage and cook until browned all over, turning, 8-10 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup water, scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan and cover.  Cook until sausage is cooked through, about 5-8 more minutes.

 

Plate & Serve

Divide squash and broccoli rabe between plates and spoon over liquid from pan.  Halve turkey sausage on diagonal and place over veggies.  Garnish with toasted pine nuts and Enjoy!
