This is the cheesiest sausage one pot pasta you’ll ever try! It’s my favorite comfort food recipe and it’s quick and easy!

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.

This pasta dish is really one of the easiest you’ll ever make! It’s the perfect comfort food and you can have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes!

What can you serve with one pot pasta?

You can also swap out the smoked sausage for chicken – if you’d like more on that – I did it for you with this One Pot Cheesy Chicken Pasta! If you’re looking for side dishes – here’s a few I like to make:
