Kielbasa Pasta is not an ordinary pasta dish, it’s made with a spicy kielbasa to kick it up a notch.
Kielbasa Pasta starts with frying the kielbasa and onion in in olive oil. You want the kielbasa to get crisp and brown, it really makes a difference in this recipe.
While the kielbasa is frying you can boil the pasta. I used penne rigate for this dish. I used a home made canned pasta sauce I canned last summer. You can easily use a jar of your favorite pasta sauce. Once you have mixed everything together, serve it up and top with mozzarella cheese. Pasta always tastes better when topped with cheese!
This is a perfect week night meal, it comes together quickly and is super delicious.
Enjoy!
