A few weekends ago I said goodbye to my little munchkins an awesome husband and headed to Auburn, Alabama to hang out with 4 of my 5 favorite girls from college! III held down the fort while I was away and knowing that the kids were in great hands, I had an amazing weekend. We ate at all our favorite restaurants, walked around downtown, stayed up late reminiscing, and then slept in until 8 (that is late when you are raising toddlers!). We also shared recipes, and when I got home I had a week’s worth of dinner ideas. The one pot sausage pasta was so easy and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
  1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  2. 1 lb. smoked sausage (sliced)
  3. 1 cup of diced onion (I use frozen diced onions)
  4. 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  5. Half a red pepper, chopped
  6. 1 cup frozen spinach
  7. 2 cups chicken broth
  8. 1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel, mild
  9. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  10. 1 1/2 cups rotini pasta (or any short pasta)
  11. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  12. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  13. 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
  1. 1. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to an oven-safe skillet (I used The Pioneer Woman's cast iron pot) over medium high heat. Add sausage, onions, red pepper, and spinach and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. 2. Next add broth, Ro-Tel, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese. Place in oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling.
  4. 4. Serve with garlic bread.

  • This looks yummy- can’t wait to try it! What type of sausage did you use, LB? Italian, Andouille, etc? I always get confused in the grocery with which one to use and I think it can make or break the meal! :)
