Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 35 minutes mins
Total Time 55 minutes mins
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 celery ribs diced
- ½ cup diced yellow or white onion
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 3 sweet Italian sausage links decased
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans
- 1 large butternut squash peeled, Blade C, noodles trimmed
- 1 Gala apple Blade C
- ½ cup shredded parmesan or Gruyere cheese or mild cheddar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once oil heats, add in the garlic, celery, onion, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the vegetables soften and then push to the side of the skillet and add in the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 6-7 more minutes.
Add in the butternut squash. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes to let the butternut squash start to heat through.
Meanwhile, spiralize the apple on Blade C.
Fold in the apple noodles and pecans, stir once more and then top with the cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes or until butternut squash is no longer crunchy.
