Folks, its easy recipes like this one pot sausage pasta that I love to create the most.

I mean not only are one pot recipes timesavers but there's less washing up.

Plus, they not only save on the washing up but they save on the pennies too and this sausage pasta is a fantastic budget meal!

This one pot sausage pasta recipe is similar to my chicken sausage casserole but here I've removed the sausage skins and combined the minced chicken meat in with all the vegetables. It saves having to make your own minced chicken!

You can easily make this healthy sausage pasta recipe in a skillet as a one skillet meal too.

The result is a delicious combination of minced sausage, onion, garlic, pepper and mushrooms all in a rich tomato sauce. Yum!

This is a wonderfully filling sausage pasta recipe that you don't need to add anything to.

Even the pasta doesn't need to be cooked seperately. It's all done in that one pot.

You can use pork or beef sausages in this pasta recipe and that will give you different combinations of flavours that you could try.

My other half and I love our chicken sausages though. That's why I used them. Also eating those helps to keep our consumption of red meat to a minimum.

Whilst chicken sausages are lower in calories than pork or beef sausages, try and get ones that have a lower fat and salt content too. If you can.

Unlike other one pot sausage pasta recipes out there this is a low fat sausage recipe as doesn't need any additional cheese to give it flavour!

It only takes 15 minutes to prep and then 30 minutes to cook this fantastic easy only pot pasta recipe. So you can have this on your dinner table in no time.

In fact it could take less time than that if you're a dab hand with your prep.

This one pot sausage pasta recipe is one of those meals that requires little thought. Just head to the supermarket straight after work and get your ingredients to make it.

Let me break down for you how to make this one post sausage pasta into 5 simple stages below.

I always think it's easier to envisage the stages of making a recipe. It makes it less complicated don't you think?

In the recipe I've noted that the chilli is optional.

I do recommend making this one pot sausage pasta with the chilli.

However you might want to leave that out of this one-pot recipe if you're serving this to young kids as well. So that the whole family will enjoy it.

If you're planning your meals for the week and sticking to a tight budget make sure you add this healthy sausage pasta to your list.

Substitutions

• Olive Oil - use ordinary olive oil for cooking. Not extra virgin olive oil.

• Onion
• Red Or Green Bell Peppers - you can use any colour of bell peppers.

• Chilli Powder - use red pepper flakes instead.
• Dried Oregano - use Italian seasoning instead.
• 2 Tins Chopped Tomatoes - use any kind of chopped tinned tomatoes. I just use supermarket own brand ones.
• Whole Wheat Penne Pasta - I use whole wheat so the recipe is a healthy sausage pasta. You can use an ordinary pasta of your choice though.
