Inspired by several recipes here, I created this pasta skillet with what I had on hand, and everyone loved it! Nice change from regular pasta and meat, have to try it with fresh tomatoes when they are ready from the garden!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
1 cup frozen peas
3 leaves fresh basil, julienned, or more to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil and saute just until tender, about 5 minutes. Add kielbasa to the skillet and cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, mushrooms, sugar, balsamic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Reduce heat and let sauce simmer while you cook pasta.
  • Add penne to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, stirring peas into pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking time.
  • Drain pasta and transfer to sauce. Stir to combine and add basil. Heat over medium-low heat so pasta can absorb liquid from sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and serve.

MOM'S KEILBASA PASTA SALAD



Mom's Keilbasa Pasta Salad image

When my mom or I make her version of pasta salad, we always get rave reviews. We like it because it differs from typical pasta salad in that it uses smoked Keilbasa sausage, colby-jack cheese, cheddar cheese, lots of veggies and parmesan-Italian dressing that ties it all together. Now don't get me wrong. I enjoy many types of pasta salad, but truth be told, Mom's version will always be #1 in my book. :)

1 (12 ounce) box rotini pasta, rainbow, cooked
1 (14 ounce) package smoked sausage, Keilbasa (I prefer Hillshire Farms Turkey Smoked Sausage)
1 red bell pepper, medium, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, medium, sliced
1 red onion, medium, sliced
1 cup seedless cucumber, quartered and sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half
8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces colby-monterey jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (parmesan variety)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions, rinse with cold water, drain thoroughly and place in an extra large bowl.
  • While pasta is cooking, chop all the vegetables, cheeses and Keilbasa as directed above. Place all in the extra large bowl with the pasta.
  • Pour entire bottle of Italian dressing over everything and toss to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Note: I recommend making this salad well ahead of time to allow the dressing to marinate with the other ingredients and intensify the flavor, but serve immediately if you wish).
