→ Main Components

340 g kielbasa sausage, sliced
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 medium onion, finely chopped
04 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 -
950 ml chicken broth
08 -
225 g short pasta, such as penne or rotini
09 -
150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
10 -
30 g fresh spinach leaves
11 -
Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste
13 -
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove kielbasa with a slotted spoon and set aside.
02 -
In the same pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
03 -
Stir in Italian seasoning, chicken broth, and uncooked pasta. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer uncovered. Cook until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, approximately 10–12 minutes.
04 -
Mix in halved cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and the reserved browned kielbasa. Continue to cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and the flavors to meld.
05 -
Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even heat distribution and reduce the risk of burning.
