I don't know about you, but it has been crazy in our house. I am certainly ready for school to be back in-person. We are lucky our kids are older, both are doing online college from their rooms. I like to have ready-made meals on-hand so they can just come grab something to eat between classes.

Serving something healthy with wholesome ingredients is important to me. I know when they head to college in-person there may not be as many healthy options so I am loading them up now :-). This one pot tomato pasta is a meal in a pot, it doesn't get much easier!

If I knew how much my kid would love this gluten free one pot pasta dinner, I would have started making these years ago!

Our local Safeway makes this so easy for me. Safeway is part of the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Randalls, Shaw’s Supermarket, Star Market, Tom Thumb and Vons. 

I love using their in-house brands because they are high-quality foods at great prices. If you like to buy organic, O Organics® offers high-quality, non-GMO and 100% USDA-certified organic products.

Safeway's Primo Taglio® products are made with the finest ingredients, using traditional, time-honored preparation methods, with no artificial flavors or colors. I love using the cheeses in the Primo Taglio line. Their feta and blue cheeses are my favorite salad toppers!

Many of the Primo Taglio® meats use whole muscle meat with no binders or fillers and their cheeses use the highest quality milk and old-world recipes, which can be naturally aged up to 2 years. All for a great price! They even make goat cheese!

Gluten free can be really expensive and shopping at Safeway helps me save money and keep to my grocery budget! If your kids are older, have them help you make this recipe. It will be a huge hit with their roommates when they are on their own and they need to cook for themselves!!

You can find everything you need to make this recipe at Safeway! Safeway has a ton of gluten free products, many are in their O Organics and Primo Taglio lines.

And don't forget Safeway also offers Grocery Delivery and Drive Up & Go™ for convenient ways to shop! With the heavy smoke from the fires we had for 2 weeks in the Bay Area, this was a lifesaver when we needed groceries!!

What you need to make this recipe:

This recipe is made with wholesome ingredients that you can find at your local Safeway or one of their partner stores!

• O Organics Ground Beef - you can easily use ground chicken, pork, or turkey if you prefer.
• Onion - I prefer regular yellow onion instead of purple onion.
• Bell peppers - I love using the O Organic mini peppers because they come in three colors, making this recipe nice and colorful.
• Gluten free pasta - I really like Jovial brand best when cooking pasta in a one pot meal. It holds up better than other brands and doesn't turn to mush.
• O Organics Pasta Sauce - I used the tomato basil flavor.
• O Organics Parmesan Cheese - I use grated, but shredded works just as well.
• O Organics Chicken Sausage - I know it sounds weird for Italian pasta but trust me when I say to get the spinach & feta flavor. It truly adds so much flavor to this recipe.
• O Organics Mozzarella Sticks - I chop these up and use them as a topper so they melt into the pasta when you stir it!
• Chicken broth
• Light oil
• Garlic
• Salt and pepper

How to make this recipe:

Step 1: In a pot, add the oil to a pan with the onion, garlic, peppers, ground beef, and sausage. Cook on medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is softened.

Step 2: Pour in the pasta sauce over the cooked meat and vegetables. (Sorry for that wobbly picture, my hand was shaking the bottle to get all of that yummy sauce out!)

Step 3: Add the box of pasta and pour the chicken broth over the pasta. Stir the mixture so the pasta is covered by the liquid. Cover the pot and cook until the pasta is cooked which is about 10-12 minutes. (*Note your cooking time may vary if you use a different brand of pasta!)

Step 4: Sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and mix it in. Chop up the mozzarella sticks and add on top for the garnish. They melt in the hot sauce! Serve hot! Nobody will know this recipe is gluten-free!

This recipe is so good, trust me when I say you will end up making this once a week. My kids went bonkers over it...I may need to add more veggies like zucchini or spinach to sneak more veggies into them!
