I am officially obsessed with one pot meals, and this one pot spicy pasta with turkey sausage is one of my favorites!

One Pot Spicy Pasta with Turkey Sausage| APinchOfHealthy.comI most definitely understand why one pot meals are a THING right now. Simplicity, fewer dishes to wash…I get it. And I was happy to see how much y’all liked my last one pot recipe – my Chicken Enchilada Skillet. So I decided to find another one to make and share with y’all!

Different versions of this dish have been floating around on Pinterest (<- follow me to see what I am pinning). My version is a combination of Amanda’s and Chungah’s recipes. Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

Have I mentioned the cheese!?! Oh how I love cheese! Because anything is better with ooey gooey cheese on top! This dish also happens to have some cheese stirred in as well. Just look at that yumminess!

There is also a little kick from some tomatoes with green chiles. I used the mild version, but feel free to amp up the heat if you are feeling brave!

If you make this one pot spicy pasta with turkey sausage, it will make your whole house smell amazing! If you live with other people in your house, don’t be surprised if they wander into the kitchen and ask you what you are making. And you may get lots of hugs and kisses after they taste it! 🙂

    It says how many calories per serving but it doesn’t say how many we binge are in the recipe. You have to know that.

      There are 6 total servings in this dish. So 1/6 of the final amount is the serving size. Nutrition information is just an estimate. Hope that helps!
