There’s something truly comforting about a one-pot meal, and this smoked sausage pasta delivers everything you need for a satisfying dinner with minimal cleanup. Creamy, cheesy, and brimming with smoky flavor, it’s a weeknight favorite that comes together in just 30 minutes.
The rich blend of bowtie pasta, tender chunks of browned smoked sausage, and a luscious tomato-cream sauce is enhanced by savory cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Every bite is infused with smoky depth and a creamy tang, making it as indulgent as it is easy to prepare.
What sets this dish apart is its one-pot nature—everything, from sautéing the aromatics to simmering the pasta, happens in the same vessel. This method not only saves on dishes but also allows the pasta to absorb every ounce of flavor as it cooks.
