Spicy Sausage Pasta - A one skillet meal

My husband always gives me a hard time when he walks into the kitchen after a meal and sees all the dirty dishes. I'll admit, sometimes it does look like a bomb went off and all the dishes from the cabinet landed in the sink...dirty, piled high, and in need of a good scrub down. Enter the one pot, or in this case, one skillet meal. God bless the individual who used their brain to think of ways to eliminate all the extra dishes. This is the perfect meal for when you need a night off from cleaning the kitchen. Oh and did I mention, its ready in 30 minutes or less.

I wasn't expecting to be wowed by this meal. I guess I figured since the recipe seemed so simple, so would the flavors. I love being wrong... at least when it comes to food. Cheesy pasta with the perfect amount of spice; about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on the heat scale, more of a 3 for my husband. For those that like extra spice, you can substitute the original Ro-tel tomatoes for the spicy version. If feeding to little ones or your prefer less spice, choose the milder version. This meal was so good, we found ourselves going back for more until it was gone and even today I'm still thinking about it and wanting more.
