Easy, Cheesy Dinner in under 30 minutes
I am such a lazy cook. Don’t get me wrong; I love to cook. I just don’t want to spend hours preparing a meal, then even more time cleaning up my mess. The less time it takes to prepare a meal, the better. And the fewer dishes it takes to make said meal makes it a win-win. For this reason, one-pot meals are a repeat dish in our house. In my search for easy one-pot recipes, I came across this recipe at Sugarapron.
Step by Step Instructions for One-Pot Kielbasa Pasta
Begin by dicing the onions and slicing the turkey into coin-sized pieces. I prefer to use Turkey Polska kielbasa sausage by Hillshire Farm. You can use beef sausage or your favorite sausage; just be sure it is pre-cooked and ready to eat. This recipe has a short cooking time, so the meat you select must be pre-cooked.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and add onions. Sauté onions until they are translucent. Then add the sliced turkey coins.
Add the garlic, bone broth, diced tomatoes, pasta, and heavy cream. You can substitute chicken broth for bone broth. I have made it both ways. The bone broth adds more flavor, so I prefer it to the broth.
Simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender. We prefer to use Farfalle (or bowtie pasta) for this recipe because of the texture. It cooks wells and retains its firmness.
Once the pasta is tender and cooked to your desired liking, stir in half of the shredded cheese. Then top the pasta with the remaining cheese and cover with a lid. Allow it to stand a few minutes, so the cheese on top melts.
Enjoy!!! One-Pot Kielbasa Pasta
