One-pan turkey sausage pasta cooks the pasta right in the sauce, so there’s only one pan to wash. Sliced Italian turkey sausage is browned with onion and peppers, then penne simmers with diced tomatoes, broth, garlic and herbs until tender.
How One-Pan Pasta Works
The pasta absorbs the broth and tomatoes as it cooks, which seasons it all the way through, and the starch it releases thickens the sauce. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick, and add a splash more broth or water if it looks dry before the pasta is tender. Most kosher turkey sausages are fully cooked, so they only need browning.
Kosher Notes
This is a meat (fleishig) recipe, so skip the parmesan. A drizzle of good olive oil, fresh parsley or basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes finish it instead. Use kosher chicken broth and turkey sausage with a reliable hechsher.
Leftovers
Leftovers keep for 3 days; reheat with a splash of broth. Rigatoni or rotini work in place of penne.

Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wide pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced turkey sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove sausage to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften and become translucent.
- Add bell pepper slices to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers begin to soften.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, water, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil.
- Add penne pasta to the pan, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Return the browned sausage to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sausage is heated through.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to absorb. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
