Ingredients for Skillet Cooked Sausage and Squash
- 21 oz butternut squash
- 10.5 oz Sausage
- 3.5 oz smoked provolone
Steps for Skillet Cooked Sausage and Squash
To start, remove the sausage from the casing and crumble it thoroughly with your hands.
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and sauté the chopped shallot (if using) before browning the sausage for a few minutes.
At this point, add the squash which you have cut into small cubes and adjust the salt (I recommend not overdoing it as the sausage is already quite salty). Pour in half a glass of water, then cover and let stew for about 10-15 minutes, until the squash becomes tender.
To finish, add the provolone or mozzarella to make it stringy.
Serve immediately.
