Skillet Baked Pasta With Sausage, Spinach And Sage

One of the most common things people will ask me is what is a good, easy “quick meal”. To be honest, this question is never actually straightforward because what is typically added before I have a chance to answer is: “oh yeah, it can’t have a lot of prep work, my whole family has to like it and it has to work for people eating at different times”. In fairness, THAT is not such an easy question for anyone.

Everything I make for my blog is food my family eats. That’s the truth, but not everyone believes me. Some recipes are more complicated than others, but I own that. I do try very hard to incorporate quick meals as often as possible because I value a homemade meal that does not take hours to make.

This skillet-baked pasta recipe hits the nail on the head for all the above questions. It’s quick (MADE IN AN HOUR), it’s agreeable to most eaters, can be made vegetarian, and can be reheated easily for all those late soccer practices. This baked pasta dish is a great, hearty dish I love in the cooler months, especially after a day of skiing and I need some carbs. Served with a nice simple green salad, roasted sprouts, or some cauliflower and you have a great family-friendly meal you’ll love but won’t slave over.

    Can I freeze this dish for later use?

    1. Hi Tamara- I have never tried freezing this recipe so the honest answer is I am not sure. I would think it does not hold up as well as a dish like lasagna and may turn out a bit dry, but that is just a hunch.
