One Pot Kielbasa Sausage Skillet Pasta

 So I came across this recipe on Facebook. Someone had posted it and said they had made it and they really liked it. And I LOVE when something is recommended instead of trying it first and hating it. SO I decided it looked super easy being a one pot recipe that I had to try it. I did change up some of the ingredients but I think mine is better of course ;} You could definitely customize it to you or your families likings as well. Next time I might get a little crazy and add mushrooms. Because I truly believe mushrooms make everything better lol I know that's strange to say, and I don't care ;]

This incredibly cheesy pasta dish easily comes together in less than 30 minutes in one skillet - even the pasta gets cooked right in the pan!

Ingredients

 

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked Kielbasa sausage, thinly sliced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can roasted diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk 
• 8 ounces penne pasta or any favorite pasta [uncooked]
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheese
• 1/2 cup frozen peas

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and sausage, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, milk, peas and pasta; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
•  Turn off the heat and add 1/2 cup of cheese and stir until all melted and well blended top with remainder of the cheese. Cover until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.or longer to thicken sauce. 

Even my month old daughter loved it 

 This was so good, my husband literally told me 6 times while eating it how much he loved it ;} 
This would be such an easy recipe, even for my non cookers out there ;}
