We’re about to steal your comfort food-loving heart with these one-dish Butternut Squash Noodles with Sausage and Kale

And did we mention they’re also Whole30-friendly?

If you leave the cheese off, of course. And best of all, it’s a complete meal with just one skillet. Slicing the butternut squash really thin with either a spiral vegetable cutter or a handheld vegetable peeler cuts down on the cooking time – so does using precooked kielbasa sausage.

For this recipe we’ve  partnered with our friends at The Simple Grocer and Pederson’s Natural Farms- maker of high-quality, humanely-raised, responsibly-processed and Paleo and Whole3-friendly meats like the kielbasa used in this recipe.

Easy, hearty and satisfying – the perfect mid-week meal is just 30 minutes away

Prepping all of the ingredients before starting to cook is the key to an easy and successful one-skillet dinner. You can even prep all of the ingredients up to 3 days in advance if you want to make things really easy.

It’s all in there – no side dish required

Of course, we’d never begrudge you for adding a salad or side of steamed vegetables to this dish but really, you don’t have to. It’s all in there – carbs from the butternut squash noodles, protein from the kielbasa and plenty of fiber from the kale, squash and mushrooms. The only thing we’d add is a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little more heat (though the kielbasa does pack a little heat already) and maybe a sprinkle of parmesan cheese when we’re not Whole30-ing. P.S. You can even top the leftovers with a fried egg for an insanely easy and satisfying breakfast. How’s that for awesome?
