Ingredients

Butternut Squash Soup

  • 1 lb conchiglie pasta (or any shell like pasta, cavatappi pasta would be my next pick)
  • 15 cremini mushrooms
  • 1 lb spicy italian sausage
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 2 cups of pasta water
  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups of finely shredded parmesan (I use Krafts finely shredded)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and mince all produce. You want everything to be finely chopped.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt generously. While you wait for the water to boil bring a large sauce pan to medium heat.
  3. Add your pasta to the large pot, and cook al dente. Reserve two cups of pasta water.
  4. While that cooks, you can brown and break down your sausage in the sauce pan.
  5. Strain the pasta, and set aside.
  6. Remove the sausage, from the saucepan. If excess grease, remove that as well.
  7. Into the same saucepan add your mushroom. Add a small pinch of salt, and cook down until excess liquid has evaporated. 5-10 minutes.
  8. Add your thyme, shallot, and garlic. Add another small pinch of salt. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
  9. Add in a splash of your reserved pasta water, with a spatula remove the fond from the bottom of the pan. Then add in the rest of your pasta water, and heavy cream.
  10. Bring to a simmer, and add in your pasta. Stir around continuously keeping the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  11. Once the sauce has thickened, cut the heat. Keep stirring the pasta for 3 minutes. Add your parmesan slowly. Stirring after each addition.
  12. Once the parmesan is completely incorporated, add in your sausage. Fully incorporate that as well.
  13. Top with additional parmesan while serving!
  14. Enjoy!
