Roasted Butternut Squash with Sausage & Spinach...All the Fall Flavors
Good Morning! I decided to send this post out again today because it’s such a great recipe for fall! I know we’re all starting to think about Thanksgiving and what to serve and this crowd pleasing recipe is perfect! Cut it into slices and serve it alongside the turkey on Turkey Day or just serve it for dinner this week! You won’t be sorry! Also…my Thanksgiving Survival Guide is back and available on Thursday of this week! Be sure to check back because I’ve added a few extra recipes to the this years Guide and it really does help take some of the stress out of Thanksgiving!
I have been craving the flavors in this Sausage & Spinach Stuffed Butternut Squash. The combination is so delicious and it is such a gorgeous dish to serve!
I didn’t use a recipe while making this…I tasted as I went until I got the flavors just right, but luckily, i wrote it all down for you and the recipe is below! This is one of the best fall dishes I’ve ever come up with and if you like butternut squash, you’re going to love it and if you don’t like butternut squash you might just change your mind!
This recipe includes all of my favorite fall flavors, is very delicious and makes the most beautiful presentation! For Thanksgiving, I may use acorn squash and serve them on a board alongside the turkey.
I think the most difficult thing about this recipe is cutting the butternut squash in half! Be sure to use a very sharp knife and take your time!
This recipe is definitely one that you can make substitutes with…add kale instead of spinach and raisins or dried cherries instead of cranberries! You could also use shallots or red onions instead of yellow onions.
Rosé is a wine that pairs well with rich foods making it an excellent choice for Thanksgiving dinner! Other good choices include a sparkling Rosé or a dry (Brut) Champagne! These fabulous hand blown wineglasses from Haand have become my favorite wine glasses! I love the way they feel in my hand and they’re so beautiful!

Prep your ingredients before you begin cooking and you’ll be surprised at how quickly this dish comes together!
The spinach wilts in no time…just add about two large handfuls to a hot pan! You’ll need more than you think…
I considered using a sprinkling of brown sugar or a little maple syrup next time to add just a touch of sweetness. It’s like dipping your breakfast sausage in the maple syrup from the pancakes…just an amazing flavor combination! Like I said, make this your own! You cannot mess it up!
The masterpiece is, of course, served on a rosemary lined handmade platter from Haand. These dishes have become my go-to for serving everything, everyday! They add an artisan element to my food presentation and make it even more special. They’re dishwasher save, come in so many fabulous colors, and are very durable so I never hesitate to pull them out!
I’ve been collecting vintage silver and silver plate flatware for years and these unique pieces pair beautifully with the handmade dishes. I also love mixing them with my fine china to create an unexpected table setting!
