Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) penne pasta
14 oz (400g) kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Sauté Kielbasa: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until browned. Remove and set aside.
    Cook Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
      Combine Ingredients: Add the penne pasta, cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
        Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
          Add Kielbasa and Spinach: Stir in the browned kielbasa and spinach. Cover again and let cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.
            Cheesy Finish: Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover for about 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
              Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious one pot kielbasa pasta!
