One Pot Pasta! Cheesy Polish and Pepper Pasta Recipe
I’m a huge fan of one pot pasta recipes. They are quick and easy to make and only use one pot to cook the entire meal. That means minimal clean up for me and a delicious dinner for my family! This cheesy polish and pepper one pot pasta recipe is a perfect weeknight meal idea!
This recipe combines smoked polish sausage, colored peppers, onions, garlic, diced tomatoes and cheddar jack cheese to create a hearty pasta that comforts the soul. Make this one pot pasta recipe any night of the week and it will deliver a tasty dinner with minimal cleanup! It is perfect for busy weeknights or special gatherings celebrating loved ones. Save time on dishes and spend it visiting with your loved ones instead!!
For this one pot pasta recipe I used polish from Klement’s Sausage Company. They have a variety of products that I love. I’ve served their summer sausage at parties and we love making their Bratwurst on the grill in the summer.
For this cheesy polish and peppers one pot pasta recipe I used the Klement’s Polish smoked polish sausage variety. The flavor is robust and delicious and lends the perfect flavor to this one pot pasta dish.
Begin by slicing the polish. I sliced mine at an angle so the surface of the sliced polish was long. Then heat olive oil in a large pan (I used this one) over medium high heat and add polish. Cook until both sides of the polish are browned.
Then add garlic, pepper, onions, peppers, broth, tomatoes, milk and pasta. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and cover. Boil for 10 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
Stir in cheese and top with red pepper flakes and green onions. Serve directly out of the pan so you don’t create any extra dishes!
The combination of the Klement’s polish with the onions and peppers is a winning dish!
This one pot pasta makes a large amount and will feed 4-6 people easily. It makes for great leftovers too!

I LOVE that this only takes one pot! This is perfect for us this weekend for our Easter camping dinner! I can’t wait to try this!
It really doesn’t cook well. the pasta keeps sticking out of the mix and cooks less than the rest 🙁
Hey, I noticed I was having the same issue when I was cooking so I put a lid on mine and checked it every couple minutes to stir. It cooked perfectly!
The temperature was high enough to create the liquid to have steam come off it so it would cook the noodles that were poking out of the liquid as well.
If your pan/ pot doesn’t have a lid you can always use a pizza pan, Or a cookie sheet just make sure you put on oven mitts 🙂
Awesome idea!!
Just made this tonight. It was delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback

Very tasty recipe. I love one pot meals . Especially with sausage.
Sausage in pasta is so good! We use keilbasa all the time and it really boosts the flavor of any pasta dish.
This looks really good. I haven’t had polish sausage in a while and now I’m craving it. I’ll be making this.

I cant eat peppers so leaving those out but what do you think about adding bacon in the mix? does this end up soupy with the broth milk and tomatoes?
Amazing flavor! We used Andouille as we wanted some heat. Also sautéed the pepper flakes(more than called for) with the sausage. Loved it!
