“Is it ready yet?” is something I hear the minute my son discovers I’m making one of his favorite pasta dishes, this one!

This creamy  pasta, sausage and tomato skillet meal is kid and picky-adult friendly. I mean can you really go wrong with pasta, sausage, cheese, and tomatoes? It’s super simple to make, filling, and flavorful. The simple whipping cream sauce gets a super boost of flavor from the fresh garlic, onions, smokey sausage and fresh tomatoes!

Let me tell you, on busy weekdays I live for quick and easy skillet meals like this. Pair it up with some homemade garlic bread,  a salad and BAM! A home-cooked dinner is done in 30 minutes!

Sometimes I’ll add broccoli, spinach or sweet peas to give it a burst of color if I have some on hand.

Here’s the smoked turkey sausage that I use. I get it from Walmart, Target or Harris Teeter. Feel free to use other sausages like sweet Italian sausage.
