A one pot pasta with smoky kielbasa, a creamy sauce, and simple ingredients. Ready in under 30 minutes and easy to keep gluten free and low FODMAP.
Servings: 4 Servings
Equipment
- 5-Quart Stock Pot
Ingredients
- 13 ounces kielbasa smoked sausage (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 cups chicken broth (Note 2)
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes undrained (Note 3)
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- ½ cup heavy cream (Note 4)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 12 ounces penne pasta about 3 cups, gluten free if needed
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cubed (Note 5)
- grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil Optional
Instructions
- Slice the kielbasa into ¼ inch rounds.
- In a large pot, heat the garlic infused olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until lightly browned. The sausage is already cooked, so you’re just adding color and flavor.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the undrained diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and penne pasta. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 11-13 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
- While the pasta cooks, cut the cheese into small equal sized cubes.
- Once the pasta is tender, remove the pot from the heat. Add the cubed cheese and then gently stir until the cheese starts to melt into the pasta.
- Top with grated parmesan cheese and chiffoned fresh basil before serving.
