My cheesy tomato pasta skillet recipe is the inspiration behind this recipe. It’s easy to make, delicious and can be quickly put on the dinner table. It also totally inspired today’s recipe – a one pot spicy sausage skillet.

We have made the first-mentioned recipe so many times that I started to get bored. It is so delicious but you can only eat the same thing so often before its time for a change.

I was torn. Its easy to make, I really like the flavors… but I just couldn’t eat it one more time. Easy solution – change up the flavors and make it spicy.

One Pot Spicy Sausage Pasta

The spiciness of this one pot dish comes from jalapeño slices and the smoky spiciness of andouille sausage. We are kind of addicted to that tingle in your mouth from spicy food.

I do realize that not everyone can handle the amount of heat that we like and two jalapeños may be too much for you. One jalapeño will still give you heat, but won’t burn your mouth.

You can also deseed the jalapeños first.

All of the ingredients get thrown into a pot together and everything cooks quite quickly. From start to finish, including the chopping, you can be done cooking and prepping in 30 minutes.

You really can’t beat that and I love a delicious 30 minute meal.

I always get so excited when I find a delicious, easy recipe. I only added one jalapeno and cooked the pasta separately. Otherwise kept everything the same. The cream cheese is what really made it perfect. Will be making again for sure!

I made this tonight and I'm already super excited for leftovers tomorrow. I used while grain pasta so it needed a tiny bit more chicken broth... Otherwise I made it as directed and it was AMAZING!

My boyfriend and I make this all the time! It’s so easy and so delicious! Sometimes we make it with whole wheat pasta and it seems like we have to add much more water; otherwise we follow the recipe exactly and it always turns out amazing. Thank you for sharing!
