Gluten Free Dairy Free One Pot Pasta and Kielbasa

So good and so easy! Sometimes the best recipes come from just tossing together what you have on hand. Yep, I could have added some green veggies to the dish, but we like this as it is. Just serve it with a big salad and you’ll be good to go.

I am also using this dish for Gluten Free-zer Friday, as the leftovers (it makes a BIG pan) can divided up and tucked into the freezer for future lunches.
