Roasted Squash & Chicken Sausage Penne
A flavorful and well-seasoned recipe, though the instructions for preparing and temping the raw chicken sausage need adjustment for practicality.
Score: 8/10
Suggested fixes
- Instruct the user to remove the casings from the chicken sausage and crumble the meat into the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, rather than slicing and temping it.
Issues
- medium / cookability: Thinly slicing raw sausage links before cooking is difficult and causes the meat to spill from the casings, and it is impractical to measure the internal temperature of a thin slice.
Strengths
- Excellent preparation steps that organize all cutting and measuring before active cooking starts
- Precise and perfectly calculated salt amounts for both roasting the squash and salting the pasta water
- Efficient simultaneous timing, utilizing the squash roasting time to cook the pasta and sausage
