kielbasa pasta in a skillet.

Kielbasa Pasta Recipe

Ajoke
This recipe is very easy and straightforward, it is very similar to my canned tuna pasta recipe. Kielbasa pasta uses a handful of ingredients and requires minimal prep. Here the protein in this dish is allowed to take the front seat, and the smokiness from the kielbasa takes the pasta dish to a whole new level. This dish is ready under 30 minutes!
