HOW TO MAKE BUTTERNUT SQUASH NOODLES
Besides the butternut squash, you'll need a spiralizer to create these colorful and delicious noodles. Spiralizers are not expensive these days, and I think they are worth every penny. So, if you don?t own a spiralizer, you can buy one online. I recommend (and use) this . If you'd like to learn more about spiralizing, check out this article:Â 7 Best Vegetables to Spiralize.

SAUSAGE
I use Mild Italian Sausage in this recipe, but you can use a spicy version. It doesn't really matter if you purchase links or patties because you'll be breaking them up into bite-sized pieces. You may use other kinds of meat here, but it'll change the flavor, of course. I think chicken would work nicely as well.
