I love a good skillet dinner that’s both easy and nutritious. Only dirtying one cook pot works for me.
Creamy pumpkin makes a perfect choice for a sauce thickener. You don’t need a lot to create a smooth, flavorful sauce. The pretty fall orange is an added bonus!

I removed the chicken sausage from the casing and broke it into chunks. Chicken as a sausage is less greasy than pork so I added a bit of oil to get it started. If you’d rather use turkey or pork sausage, go for it! It’s all good!

Pearl Couscous adds a bit of texture. I think rice would work just as well.
