One Pan Cheesy Smoked Sausage & Pasta Recipe


My whole family loved this dish – with the BIG move happening I am trying to cook dishes FAST that I can easily reheat for leftovers

With the whole move I am finding out how much “stuff” I really have — but that is another story…. But SERIOUSLY guys I am never buying anything ever again 😉

I am going to be adding this recipe into my full rotation of meals — what I love is that I can easily change it up as the seasons change — or adding different meats as they come on sale

I really hope you enjoy this recipe ( I know my family did – my mom, dad, and Eric 🙂 )
If I did not mention it before but it seems that my dad has recently ( within the last year become lactose intolerant) so I have been trying to use much lactose free milk as possible I buy it from Walmart or Winco – I also try and avoid heavy cream when I can — so this dish can be made with heavy cream instead of the milk – I personally used lactose free milk because I wanted my dad to enjoy the pasta for lunch 🙂

This dish can be gluten free as long as you use gluten free pasta
I did not since I was not planning on eating this dish — since I used pork in the dish — I personally do not eat pork ( Long story but I am willing to cook it )
