Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Pasta

0 Toss the butternut squash cubes and sage with half of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a 9x13 casserole dish.
1 Stud the casserole dish with small pieces of the Italian sausage, place the goat cheese log in the center, and sprinkle the garlic cloves throughout. Pull the sage leaves up so they’re sitting on the top and then drizzle with more olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
2 Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes, or until the cheese looks bubbly and the sausage looks crispy.
3 While the squash and sausage bake, cook the pasta according to package instructions.
4 When the squash and sausage are finished, pull the (now crispy) sage out of the dish so you can sprinkle it on at the end.
5 To assemble the pasta, add the cream and stir to make an even sauce.
6 Add the cooked pasta, stir to combine and then top with the crispy sage and additional red pepper flakes (optional).
