I love a good home cooked meal – especially when it’s chilly outside. But, making a week night meal that takes a lot of time on weeknights isn’t an option. Between homework, sports, chores and more, I need to make something that is fast and delicious that my entire family will love! I especially love it if I can use most of what I have in my pantry or fridge to get it done in 30 minutes or less!
So, I teamed up with Johnsonville and Barilla to bring YOU this amazingly simple dish that you’re gonna love! For under $10 and 30 minutes, this One-Skillet Creamy Tomato Italian Sausage Pasta will quickly become a favorite in your home!

One-Skillet Creamy Tomato Italian Sausage Pasta
This One-Skillet Creamy Tomato Italian Sausage Pasta uses just a few ingredients that I bet you have in your pantry already. You won’t have to pick up much at the store and I’m betting will cost you under $10 to make this dish – it was for me! It’s like my Creamy Tomato Pasta, with the addition of sausage.
Ingredients you’ll need:
1 box of Barilla Penne Pasta
1 jar of your favorite Barilla Pasta Sauce – I used traditional here
1 packages of Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green pepper cut into strips
1 small onion cut into strips
1 cup chicken broth or water
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cream or milk (if desired)
salt and pepper to taste
Here’s how you make this amazing dish:
1. Brown the Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage in your skillet with the olive oil. Add in the pepper and onions and cook until soft and sausage is done. Remove from skillet and drain off the excess grease.
2. Add pasta, sauce and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cover. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
3. Add back in the sausage and peppers and cook until heated through.
4. Add parmesan cheese and stir well.
5. Add in cream and stir well again.
6. That’s it!
