I love one pot pasta meals! This was easy to make and I will use again. Instead of ground turkey I used ground sweet Italian sausage. I added 2 tablespoons of a mix between olive oil and a garlic flavored virgin olive oil blend to the pot before I browned the sausage. While I was browning the sausage I included minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder (I love extra garlic flavoring) a little bit of cooking salt, about a table spoon of dried Italian seasoning blend and some black pepper. I used a basil flavored pasta sauce. I was happy with this recipe. I did not prepare the family sized portions. I had a pound of the ground sausage and used about 9oz of gigli pasta. I believe you can adjust the pasta size depending on the pasta shape. This was my first try at this recipe and I could have added a bit more of the pasta. It was delicious-thank you for this recipe!

This had no business being so good!Doubled the recipe but only used 4 cups of beef broth plus one cup of water as it cooked off.I also subbed 8 oz of velveeta in place of the shredded cheese.This was a home run.
