One-Pot Sausage and Mushroom Pasta Recipe
I have always loved one-pot dishes because they make dinner and clean up a breeze! The very first time I ever tried a one-pot pasta dish, I was shocked at how easy it was, but the meal wasn’t that great. The pasta was a little dry and not much flavor. With testing many recipes over and over again, I can officially say I know how to make the best one-pot pasta dishes. I know the ratios to add the perfect amount of liquid to create the perfect amount of sauce to hug the perfectly cooked and tender pasta. It’s the easiest trick ever, trust me!
It's one of my favorite dinners to make when I need something fast and easy, but that doesn't compromise on the flavor! The mushrooms and sausage are the stars of this one-pot sausage and mushroom pasta recipe. If you are looking for the best pan/skillet for pasta, I highly recommend this casserole pan.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM PASTA:
- smoked sausage (you can use beef, pork, chicken)
- penne pasta
- chicken or vegetable stock/broth
- marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce (without the meat)
- mushrooms
- onions
- green bell pepper
- simple pantry seasonings and spices
- parmesan cheese
HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM PASTA?
I start by warming my pan over medium heat, add in your oil and onions and cook until the onions are translucent. Saute the garlic until fragrant. Then you place off the ingredients into the pot and stir until combined. Cover and simmer until the pasta is al dente and tender. Finish it off with freshly grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately. I told you it was easy!
To make the most amazing one-pot pasta dishes, you will need to have a ratio of 2 ounces of pasta to 1 cup of liquid, 2:1 ratio.
