Spicy Sausage Pasta

My changes based on what I had: spaghetti noodles, cheddar Monterey jack blend, and turkey polska kielbasa Delicious! My kid demands this to be in rotation as well. So easy to make, its one dish which means less dishes, woot woot.

Added Cajun Seasonings

Added bell pepper and celery with the onion. Also added Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne. Absolutely delicious.

Very delicious 😋 just add more spices because just salt and pepper isn't enough

Better the next day

Very easy and good. I like boiling the pasta noodles directly in the sauce.

Really good and simple dish to throw together. Will add more spices next time to give it a little more of a kick as it was pretty mild. Made tons of leftovers.

Was ok

Used turkey sausage and half and half. Was great

I love this recipe, easy to follow, delicious, and my sensory sensitive child loved it which is always a plus when trying a new recipe. Definitely will make this again

Added mushrooms and chili as had no spicy sausages.

Was good I didn't add nothing to it

I added mushrooms and a chopped roasted pasilla pepper and turned out delicious

Added some mushrooms

Super easy to make, put all the ingredients in the crock pot and was done in 10 mins! Very tasty 😋

Doubled the pasta and rotel. Came out good

This was so easy to make and super tasty! Parker said it should be a new staple meal. :)

Loved it. It was a little soupy though so I think I'll drain the tomatoes next time. I also added crushed red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper like another commenter suggested

Added Cheyanne pepper & red chili flakes.

I added a small can of chilies and this STILL wasnt spicy.

Added cheddar jack & a bit of cream cheese. Also a dash of cayenne, red pepper flake and paprika

Love this meal! It’s one of our regular dishes now

We all really liked it! We were not sure if our 1.5 year old liked it, but he ate it all. We add a little bit of parmesan cheese. We will make this again.

Was delightful

I used Banquet brand precooked sausage links cuz I'm lazy. Lol Added paprika, and red pepper flakes like fellow Whiskers suggested. Didn't even need the cheese. Super good, everyone loved! Served with soft rolls with jelly!

My favorite dish in a while. I added some paprika and didn't use the tomatoes and onions. So good and creamy! Definitely a comfort food.

Used spicy Italian sausage and rotini. Fat free half n half and reduced fat mexican blend. Yum

This was delicious. I used hot Italian chicken sausage and cooked it on low in the slow cooker. I threw in everything except the pasta and cooked for 5 hours. I added the pasta and cooked for an additional hour, then added cheese and green onions. I will definitely make this again!!

Followed the recipe for the most part, added salt and pepper to taste and eyeballed the cheese. I was happy with it and will definitely make it again.

Spicy and satisfying!

Very nice! Added paprika, chili flakes and cayenne pepper to the mixture and boiled for a few minutes without lid to let the sauce thicken.

Added Cajun seasoning and used penne pasta. Also recommend letting it stand for 5-10 min to thicken before serving

Family loved it!! Thanks

Made it with sour cream as my store was out of heavy, very good

Cheese gave it that final creamy touch! So good. Added red chili flakes

I also added Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Cheap. Easy. And the kids approve!

Recommend red pepper flakes for an extra kick. We used andouille sausage. 10/10

The concept is good, however I had to add some cornstarch to thicken the sauce because it would have been a sausage soup. I used rotel with lime and cilantro and a sharp white cheddar instead of Monterey jack. I put red peppers also.

I made the recipe as it's written and it was really tasty. It's quick, simple and filling for busy week nights. You could add different proteins, chicken or ground beef would work well

Delicious. Used milk instead of cream.

Made with tortellini so yummy!

This was tasteful and easy to make.

Loved this and have made it many times since finding it on tiktok!

Added minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian, chili powder, cumin, salt and poultry seasoning. Lots of leftovers, easy and delicious. Can sub cream for milk.

Super flavorful and highlights the kielbasa incredibly well! As per usual with my cooking, I measured the garlic with my heart. Definitely becoming a meal planning staple!

Super quick and easy to throw together

Subbed chicken for sausage, took the spice down a bit, but fresh and cheesey 🧀😊

It was a little more soupy than I expected but remedied that by serving it with a slotted spoon. It was really good! Super easy too!Will be making this again. I added a red bell pepper just because I needed to use it before it went bad.

This was such a hit with the whole family - we make it often now! It comes together fast, and tastes delicious. Thanks for a great go-to recipe!

Turn out awesome just the right spice will make again easy and delicious

I used smoked sausage as I don't like too much spice and it was a little bland so I added garlic salt, pepper seasoning salt, and red pepper and it was super good

Instead of rotel I used halved grape tomatoes and added sliced green pepper. Yummy 😋

Wasn’t spicy enough for me so I added some extra seasonings like cayenne, paprika and red pepper flakes! I used fire roasted tomatoes. Turned out very yummy! Definently used a whole bag of cheese in it too not one cup lol

I made this to use leftover cream and it was easy and awesome. Used fresh pasta and left out the broth; easy and delicious!

Not actually super spicy.

10/10 absolutely delicious!

It's a great family meal that everyone can enjoy.

I used Spaghetti noodles and some old bay seasonings. Tasted like cheese dip with salsa as a pasta and I loved it! I didn't use scallions or onions though

I added diced tomatoes with jalapeños and habanero it was great

So good. When I double it, I add a pound of Cajun seasoned chicken breasts. Makes a great sausage and chicken pasta.

Did this differently, but so good! Added a lot a Cajun seasoning, used coconut cream instead of regular cream, increased the liquid amount overall! Used a vegan powder instead of cheese. Super delicious

I added green peppers, more garlic, and also shredded parmesan cheese. It was very good! A little runny, so I added more cheese than the recipe called for.

Used farfalle noodles that the kiddos didn't prefer and the sauce was too thick and spicy for them. Adults gobbled it up and went back for seconds, loving each bite! May adjust in the future for a whole-family meal

A little liquidy so add less broth or more heavy cream/cheese. Other than that it was very good!

Hold the heavy cream, stir in cream cheese after its cooked. Dash of tabasco in dish.

Delicious! Family devoured it

It wasn't really hard to make, but it didn't had a lot of different flavour

I added a bit of my homemade hot sauce and a little extra chicken broth and onion. Definitely making this one again, might try a different kind of sausage next time. 8/10

I used egg noodles, which cooked up quickly in the sauce. I also added some Italian seasoning and used light cream because I did not have heavy cream. It was delicious. Served it up with some garlic knots. Will definitely make this again because it was quick, hearty, and delicious.

I made several changes. The sausage was a no-no for my friend who has a delicate stomach, so ordinary pork sausages were used. I couldn't find Monterey Jack so I used Brie with the skin removed. Chicken broth was chicken soup out of a can. I couldn't find Rotel so I used a different brand, but with herbs, not chili. The end result was quite good for an inexperienced cook, but my friend who usually does the cooking has broken an ankle and is in a wheelchair, so I have stepped up. I fed 3 adults and the compliments were very encouraging.

Very good. My shortcut was to use box creamy Mac and cheese. Just need to cut back on the liquid or it will be too runny. Added some Italian seasoning for flavor.

So easy to whip up and delicious!

One of our favorite meals!

Added spinach with mine.

I added mushrooms and green peppers for more veggies, and used chickpea pasta to lower the carbs. This was amazing and is on heavy rotation in our home!

I used sour cream instead of cream. I Love it!!!

Needed a little something extra, but couldn't put my finger on it. Good, filling, easy, minimal prep. Subbed half & half + butter for heavy cream. Added frozen onion and peppers to onion/garlic mix. Used penne which was perfect for the sauce, but took a little longer to soften/cook evenly and had to add 1/2 C additional stock.

Very good

Substituted the Rotel for peppers. Dish was pretty bland so I added my own seasoning. But overall, it's a good recipe.

Beautiful recipe, had to sub a few items as couldn’t get some. But still 10/10.

I loved this, he had flavor, spice, and we really liked it

This is really good

Subbed 1 can of diced tomatoes for rotel, used 1 can cream of mushroom, garlic powder, and cumin

We used chipotle rotel for some extra spice!

I used Spicy Italian sausage instead because that's what I had in the fridge and it was very good! My boyfriend LOVED it. Will make again for sure!

Yummy! 😋

So easy, so good! I added zucchini and used pineapple/bacon chicken sausages. My 4, 6 and 39 year olds loved it.

Great recipe. I added lots of black pepper.

I doubled the recipe to use a full box of pasta. However it is a little soupy so next time i will cut back on the broth by 1/2-1c to see if that helps. The flavor was there and my family enjoyed it. I would make again.

Creamy

My family absolutely LOVES this recipe. My dad who HATES onions didn’t even know they were in there but I always cook them way down before I add them in

To make this nice and spicy, used andouille sausage. We love spicy!

original recipe this time and added 4oz cream cheese at the end. still a keeper!! doubled the recipe. will probably try to find a way to make it a bit creamier next time. kids ate it up

We doubled the recipe, so that we had extra, but we also added more cheese and more liquid both chicken broth and cream.

Cut sausage in half, then slice it Cook pasta per directions on box

Very good. Everyone enjoyed it!

Easy to make and 10/10

I used angel hair for pasta. So tasty!! Can't wait to make this again!

SO GOOD! husband and I loved this dish.

A big hit with the boys. I added more spice for our palates

I can’t find Campanelle pasta anywhere around me but a good alternative is penne. It gets all inside the noodles and is so good. I’ve made this recipe twice now and I’m about to make it for a third time! Me and my husband eat in it for DAYS!

Delicious! A little watery if you leave it covered but reduces well uncovered

Note for myself, it's campanelle pasta and turkey sausage😋

This is one of our favorites!

I add a bag of california blend veggies to really make it a one pot meal

Made enough for me, my husband and 1 year old. We had leftovers for at least 2 more meals. Taste better after it sits an hour or so, even more so after a day!

I did not have scallions but decided to put some spinach in. It turned out pretty good!

I’m making dinner for the wife tonight, so this makes it the 3rd time I’ve made this dish. It’s a “go-to” meal in our house!

It tastes like queso dip if you use Colbyjack cheese, but with noodles and sausage. It was great. The regular was too spicy for the kids, but they still ate it. Going to try mild tonight.

I really enjoyed it but the rotel was too spicy for the kiddo (my bad) and the husband wasn’t thrilled. I was told it’s a once a year recipe. I thought the flavor was good and I followed the recipe to the letter. I really like kielbasa but if I changed to chicken I think I would have made a fan out of the husband.

My boyfriend and I made this recipe! It was amazing. Now a standard in our rotation.

Slivered the onion and thinly sliced the sausage. Used fiesta blend cheese cause that's what I had on hand. Yummy and creamy!!

My absolute favorite recipe!

I’ve made this more than once for my family and double it each time b/c it’s so good!

I interchange the pasta type just with whatever I have in cabinet, and add green peppers for more veggie bite

Made this with spicy Italian sausage. I used a full 32 oz box of chicken stock to make it "soupier". Add the cream at the end just before the cheese. Way tasty and a bit of heat. Made it twice in the last 2 weeks.

I used protein pasta from Barilla and doubled the recipe. I also added an additional 1/2c of cream. Turned out delicious.

If you double the recipe, make sure you use a large pot and brown your sausage in batches. Otherwise, this is excellent as is!

Just as delicious with vegan sausages. I added a little chilli powder.

Tasty quick weeknight dinner.

It was pretty simple and yummy.

I had to use more chicken broth than the recipe called for to get the noodles cooked throughly. Added some cajun, garlic powder, and onion powder for more flavor. Super easy and came out delicious.

So easy and so yum! I substituted Cheddar Cheese for the Monterrey Jack because my husband is not a heat guy and it was delicious! I even used GF noodles!

Delicious. Made it tonight. Doesn't need seasonings. The taste isn't over powering which is nice. And it's filling. We got full fast. Thank u. I look forward to trying others by u. The people saying it had no flavor either didn't make it right or they like extremely overpowering tastes... This was perfect.

I added some more seasoning cause I like my food with flavor! But definitely good!

This was so nasty ewwww would not make again. Ew

Nice dish. A little heat with the Rotel so if little kids and those that don't care for "warm", monitor that.

I’m not much of a hot pepper girl, but this was so good! Definitely making again, but less Rotel…. But that’s just me!

I added some bacon to mine. I did 6 servings. 3 cups chicken stock and 1 cup heavy cream with a little bit of Cajun seasoning. And a whole box of pasta and 1 can rotel.

Definately drain the rotel and maybe 1/4 cup less chicken broth. But it was absolutely a hit and will certainly be a redo

Something that was quick, easy and different. Added a little more spice with some cayenne.

This was yum!!

My 7yr old picky eater said it was really good and would eat it again…that’s a huge win!!

WHOOPS! 😭 I really thought I screwed this recipe up by dumping a pint of cream instead of 8 oz. I intended to double the recipe but the cream…aye. But ended up being perfect. I also used a 9 oz bag of Purdue pre-cooked chicken strips with the sausage. I seasoned the sausage/chicken with salt, pepper and 1.5 tsp of thyme while it sautéed with the onions and garlic. (Skipped adding salt/pepper later). Only had 1 can of Rotel so I added a tsp of red pepper flakes to up the spice in the doubled recipe. Perfect heat, just a nice heat that faded quickly. Used campanelle instead of rotini or penne, but any pasta will work here. The excessive cream scared me, but as it simmered it reduced and once I added the cheese (full 8 oz bag of shredded Monterey Jack) and let it cool some, it really thickens up. So amazing and creamy…still eatable with a fork. Ended up being an insane hit. Will make again, and husband said to make it this way again. Best mistake ever! 😁

I didn’t add onions since we’re not onion people but it was delicious! I also did the whole box of pasta (I hate half full boxes of pasta in the pantry) so I just added a little more cream and 2 cups more broth.

I used chick pea pasta and added spinich. I did not have the cheese in the recipe so I substituted with chedder and parmesan.

Omg! I will most definitely make it again!!

Thus was a hit, however I made it with andouille sausage rather than kielbasa. Definitely will make this again!

This was absolutely amazing!!

My husband and I made it together and it was so yummy!!!!!

We substituted chicken breat for sausage. Delicious!!

We love this recipe its fast a quick and a one pot meal. Only difference is I use sausage links not kielbasa. I often mix it up with sweet and spicy sausage. I have also used chicken sausage.

Amazing. Definitely making a double next time.

Used mozzarella instead of Monterey Jack. Still delicious!

Absolutely LOVE this recipe and it’s so easy to make! This is at least a once a week meal in my house😊

Really good! Definitely going to pick a not so spicy rotel tomato though!

Added Cajun spice and little different noodles and doubled the recipe and it is our new favorite!

Added some Cajun seasoning

I added blackened seasoning to it and it was very good!

Rotel was too spicy for my kids. Thinking about just doing diced tomatoes and some seasoning and trying that!

Double the recipie for a hungry family.

Nice easy weeknight meal. Would make again. The sausage does a lot of heavy lifting in the seasoning dept, so choose wisely or add seasoning to your liking.

So good! Spicy! If you have little ones that won’t eat spicy food or just don’t like spicy food yourself, then you could substitute a half can of regular diced tomatoes and half a can of Rotel.

13yr old son was able to make it.

First time I made it, it was not really a sauce more like a soup second time I made it I realized I didn’t bring it to a boil before I added the pasta so I think that fixed it. While I’m typing this it is still cooking so we will see but it still taste good.

Even my picky kids liked it that’s a win win for me

New favorite way to cook kielbasa

This was really good! I chose penne noodles, cut the sausage into quarter pieces, and added some parsley! 😋😍

Super quick and easy. It has a little bit of a kick to it but I wouldn’t say it’s spicy.

Noodles took longer than expected to cook...added extra cream.

Really good. Made with smoked sausage instead of kielbasa. Could consider doubling pasta

It was really good, but I found it a little rich. I thought it was actually better the next day. Super easy and will definitely make again, but will serve with a salad or something light.

It was delicious. I would say just add extra chicken broth and heavy cream.

I love spicy food! The recipe doesn’t make it that spicy (in my own opinion) so I added Cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes! I also got the rotel with habanero AMAZING😍

My husbands new favorite!

This recipe is spicy but AMAZING! I used mostaccioli pasta and Johnsonville Andouille Smoked Rope Sausage, 13.5 oz . I also used 4 oz of shredded pepper jack cheese and 4 oz of mozzarella (didn’t have Monterey). I didn’t do salt or pepper it’s spicy enough and we don’t eat much salt. It’s so quick and easy and a family favorite.

I used spicy Italian chicken sausage, an alternative heavy cream, and cavatappi pasta, and it was HEAVENLY.

1 c broth instaed of 2

Better as leftover

Added extra cream and 1 cup of cheese (instead 1/2 as in the instructions)

Added creole seasoning to the andouille sausage and it was great!

I put just a little more cream and extra cheese. But it's really good!

Added shrimp as well because I had some I had to use. Came out great! Definitely will make this again

Loved it!

Added broccoli and more cheese

Added another 1/2 cup of cream at the end with a cup of Monterey Jack cheese to “cheese it up”! Great recipe!

My husband isn't a fan of kielbasa so I substituted 3 sweet Italian sausages (cooked through beforehand) and 3 New Orleans style Andouille sausages. I used penne pasta since that's all I could find. Added more garlic and cheese than the recipe called for. Added mushrooms since we like them. Turned out OK. Good base recipe to build on. Will make again with more tweaks.

Don't add too many noodles! Add spinach. Tasted similar to Mac and cheese

I didn't have quite enough onion but I had some bell peppers that needed to be used up so I diced those up really fine and added it to the onion. I seasoned the onion/bell peppers with a little salt,pepper, cayenne and paprika because why not. I also substituted the cheese for Colby Jack and it turned out great! I only cook for two so we have plenty of left overs for lunches.

Doubled the recipe for leftovers! Definitely our new favorite!

We doubled the recipe to have leftovers. We also used half and half instead of heavy cream and added 1/2 a block of cream cheese because that’s our jam. Overall it was a great, easy dinner with minimal dishes. We are adding this to the rotation for sure.

Needs something to spice it up

I used a cup of onion instead of one and a half. Not the biggest fan of onion. Was absolutely tasty!

This was amazing! I did Tweak it a bit. Chopped fresh tomatoes, organic green chilis, used less heavy cream, used less chicken broth, added basil & some flour to thicken the sauce. Topped w/ cheddar instead of Monterey Jack. Really good!

I used hot rotel and extra cheese

Very delicious! We added a little extra cheese though.

Subbed sour cream for heavy cream. Added red pepper flake and zucchini! Loved it!

I added cream cheese and did mozzarella and Parmesan instead of Monterey so delicious

My family loved this recipe. Even our son that isn’t fussy about tomato. Will definitely be making this again :)

This was a big hit with my hubby and 2 teenagers. Will definitely make this again.

Made this for dinner. Forgot to add cheese but still tasted great. Instead of green onion added asparagus

I definitely adjusted a bit, doubled the ingredients (tripled the Rotelle, chicken broth and pasta), and added a whole large poblano. I also about tripled the cheese and added 8oz of cream cheese. Delicious!

My wife is a picky eater and she loved this. It was delicious.

I doubled the recipe so we can have left-overs. Mine turned out runny; I guess it needs to sit for a while for thickness. My family LOVED it!!!!!!

It was delicious and very easy to make.

I added spinach and had it add a little extra broth so the pasta would cook but it was good just made it for two people

Super simple and delicious

So good and easy!

I added fresh spinach and extra garlic but overall a great recipe!

So easy and so good! My kids even loved it! This will definitely be part of my rotation.

This recipe was SO GOOD! I will 💯 be making this again! Flavorful, creamy - delicious!

This delivered! Easy, ingredients that I had on hand and serves 4 generously. But the taste! Comforting a warm and gooey. I made it on a freezing cold day and sat with a steaming bowl and looked out the window and the world was right.
