Salad with butternut squash and sausage topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 600 g sweet Italian sausages (about 6 pcs.)
- 3 cups butternut squash, cut into 1-cm cubes (about half a medium squash)
- 1 red onion, sliced into thick rings
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey mustard
- 1 small clove of garlic, finely grated
- 1 package (150 g) of small arugula (about 8 cups)
- 4 cups torn frisee lettuce
- 0.5 cup grated ricotta cheese + extra for serving
Preparation:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 245°C. Remove the hot baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sausage, pumpkin, and red onion, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Drizzle with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss, then spread everything into a single layer. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the sausage and squash are golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Add the arugula, frisee, and ricotta salata.
- Slice the sausage. Add red onion and pumpkin to the salad, divide among plates, and top with the sausage. Sprinkle with ricotta.
