Garlicky Kale Sausage & Butternut Squash Pasta Bake

1 Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in the oil and Italian Sausage. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, and transfer to a plate.
3 Reduce the heat to medium, and add in the butternut squash, garlic, paprika, and sage. Stir for about 8 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Pour in the chicken broth, and simmer over medium heat for about 4 minutes.
4 Stir in the noodles, kale, and milk, and then cover. Once the noodles are cooked and the kale is tender, remove from the heat. Stir in the sausage and ½ of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown. Enjoy!
