Italian Sausage Skillet

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love easy dishes and we love Italian sausage so this is one of our favorite dishes. This comes together quickly, and you don’t have to precook the pasta, which is always a win. We love to have this with garlic bread on the side and a Caesar salad. Great meal!

SWAPS

You can easily switch out the Italian sausage for ground beef or ground turkey. You will need add more spices if you use ground turkey. You can also use the diced tomatoes that are seasoned with basil and oregano to add some extra flavor.
