Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground spicy Italian sausage

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the sausage, onion, and garlic and cook until the sausage has browned all over, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the butternut squash and continue cooking until the squash is golden on the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in all of the tomatoes, wine, bay leaf, and sage. Arrange the butter slices over top.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the squash is soft and the sauce thickened. Remove the bay leaf.
