Ingredients:

12 oz mini penne pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb Polidori Mild Italian Sausage
3 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1/4 tbsp ground allspice
1/4 tbsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 large onion minced
4 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. Olive oil, over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking it into large pieces with the back of a spoon. Add in sage, allspice, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Cook until browned, about 6 minutes.
Add squash, onion, and garlic—season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine and cover. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Add pasta to the skillet with the squash and sausage, along with the reserved cooking liquid and parmesan cheese. Cook over medium-low heat until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and crumbled goat cheese, and serve immediately.
