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 to grab something to eat between classes.

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

This gluten free Italian recipe is ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe is gluten-free with a dairy-free option. If you love easy one-pot meals, you will also want to try this delicious Gluten-Free Taco Pasta dinner!

I love making one-pot meals. Give this delicious One-Pot Cajun Rice and Beans recipe a try too!

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.

Gluten free can be 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 need to cook for themselves!!

Ingredient Notes:

This gluten free Italian 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 like the 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. If you prefer to make your own homemade sauce, try this easy Gluten Free Marinara recipe. You can get all of the ingredients at Safeway.
• 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! You can also use shredded cheese.
• Chicken Broth
• Light Oil - I used olive oil, but canola oil also works well.
• Garlic - You can use minced fresh garlic or garlic powder.
• Salt and pepper

🔑 Sandi says: Feel free to use any flavor of pasta sauce you like in this one-pot dinner. My favorites are marinara, tomato basil, and roasted garlic.

Tips For Sucess:

• Make sure the pasta is covered with the liquid so it can cook evenly.
• Feel free to add mushrooms and other vegetables to the pot.
• Stir the pasta while it is cooking. This will help prevent the gluten free pasta from clumping in this gluten free pasta dish.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 1: In a pot, add the oil to a Dutch oven or soup pot 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 the pasta sauce over the cooked meat and vegetables. (Sorry for that wobbly picture, my hand was shaking the bottle to get all that yummy sauce out!)

Step 3: Add the box of pasta and pour the chicken broth over the pasta. Stir the mixture so the liquid covers the pasta. Cover the pot until the pasta is cooked, about 10-12 minutes. (*Note that your cooking time may vary using a different pasta brand!)

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

This gluten free Italian recipe is so good; trust me when I say you will make this once a week. My kids went bonkers over it...I may add more veggies like zucchini or spinach to sneak more veggies into them!
