Gluten-Free Skillet Sausage and Peppers Pasta

I make no bones about loving food here and on my social channels. I feature various recipes, both sweet and savory, from all walks of life. I embrace my foodie. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my time as a recipe creator, it’s that I’m willing to give all ingredients a chance. Even those that some may have judgments about, like gluten-free foods.
My household is fortunately free of gluten allergies, and I am thankful for this. However, we have family members and friends who aren’t so lucky. I want to cook for these loved ones, too!

I adore one-skillet and one-pot meal recipes, especially on nights when I really don’t want to dirty up more than one pan but still want a hearty and yummy dinner. Luckily for me, pasta and sausage are the PERFECT ingredients for one-skillet recipes for busy weeknights! They’re a huge time saver.
What I created was not only a new favorite original recipe for the whole family for the first time but also completely free of gluten, and they didn’t even know it. I’m a wizard like that, ha.
This great dish would also be great for a dinner party! With incredible flavor, this will soon be a favorite recipe. 🙂
I hope you enjoy this gluten-free pasta recipe! Of course, you can use regular pasta as well, too! Check out this pasta dish below.
