Recipe: One Pot Cheesy Sausage & Pasta

I buy a package of smoked sausage or kielbasa once a month to make this dish – and love the leftovers! You can also change it up by adding your favorite veggies!

How do you make one pot kielbasa pasta?

First – you’ll saute onions, mushrooms (optional) and your kielbasa or smoked sausage. Once they are sauteed, add chicken broth, tomatoes, milk, pasta and seasoning. Bring this to a boil and then let it simmer. This allows the noodles to cook while melding the ingredients together. The milk adds a creamy texture without the heaviness of cream.

Once the noodles are all plumped up – you remove it from the heat and then stir in half of the cheese! This adds to the milk to make it a really cheesy cream sauce. Then you’ll top it with the rest of the cheese for a melty top.
