This meal couldn’t make dinnertime simpler! Not only is Kielbasa Bow Tie Skillet a real crowd-pleaser, it comes together in just one pan. It freezes and reheats beautifully, too, so you’ll want to fix extras for a fast entree later. “My daughters are picky eaters,” says Lori Daniels of Beverly, West Virginia, “but this reminds them of macaroni and cheese. I toss in their favorite veggies and they gobble it up!”

I also used fresh mushrooms. It was a delicious and hearty meal.

I lightened it up a bit by using turkey smoked sausage and 2% milk. As suggested by others, I doubled the sauce ingredients (butter, milk, cornstarch and cheese) and was glad I did. I used fresh mushrooms instead of canned. I also replaced the peas with steamed brocolli florets because not many in my house care for peas. Put in a bit of Mrs. Dash regular. I also saved a bit of the pasta water to add while mixing the sauce and pasta. Honestly, I wasn't sure how all these ingredients would taste when combined, but it was hearty and delicious.

All I can say is this is FABULOUS!!!! I wouldn't change a thing besides adding 8oz of fresh mushrooms instead of the 4.5 oz jar of mushrooms and add a 1/4 cup more shredded cheddar cheese! This is a GREAT RECIPE and QUICK ONE!!!!!!

This is a wonderful recipe for nights that time is limited takes no time to make and tastes awesome. The kids get excited when they see me pulling the kielbasa out of the freezer for supper

This was just okay. I think a different sauce would have made all the difference. It definitely was a quick and easy meal, which I did like, but the taste was only so-so... a little too bland for my taste. I wouldn't make this specific recipe again, but I probably would do it if it had an alfredo sauce or even marinara with parmesan or cheddar cheese on top instead.

I also added another ring of Kielbasa, (they were only 14 oz. each) and doubled the cheese. This is one of only a few new recipes my husband has requested that I make again.

We loved this! I also used two pounds of Keilbasa and doubled the cheese sauce recipe. Snow peas are impossible to find where we live so I've used sugar snap peas which are good, but don't double the amount of these! Great weeknight meal!

We also love this recipe, with a few changes. I use two pounds of kielbasa and a pound box of pasta. Also, I add fresh asparagus that I've cut to about 1" pieces to the boiling pasta water in the last five minutes of cooking the pasta.

A great recipe!

This was delicious. My husband and two year old daughter loved it. Very easy dinner. Can almost be done with any vegetable.

This was really good! My entire family raved about it, even my 9 and 10 yr old kids. You can easily stretch the recipie a bit by adding more pasta to the pot. I would used another 1/2 pound of Keilbasa if doing so as my family likes more meat. Really an excellent dish that reheats well also. Thanks Taste Of Home!

It takes a few minutes to add it up, but if you really need to know the nutrition information it's not that hard to do it yourself. Add up the information on your ingredients and divide by the number of servings. No need to shout!

I agree, I need to know calories, fat and fiber and serving size. I'd love to make many of the recipes I see here but without nutritional info I can't.

I did the smoke sausage or the Kielbasa with American fries instead of bow ties. I raised two boys and they just gobble it up. Of course they seperated and removedthe onions before they ate it. Now they are telling everyone they were raised on Kielbasa and potatoes. They never say that they begged for it

I cant wait to try sounds delicious and easy.

I just got done fixing this meal. It was great... super simple and easy. From start to finish, it only took about 20 minutes. I used smoked sausage and canned sweet peas. Definitely a keeper!

Kielbasa is really Polish sausage.I love fresh kielbasa over the smoked but am no longer in Michigan and cannot get any good kielbasa here in Georgis. Real lielbasa is not the stuff you by in the supermarkets!

What is the difference between Kielbasa, polish sausage, and others? Is it seasonings?

I have a box of Bow Tie Pasta that I was trying to figure out what to do with it.

This sounds good and simple. We like Kielbasa and this receipe is something that I have never thought of.Am anxious to try it. Shirley

This is a great, easy recipe. To make it low sodium, try using chicken sausage. It has no preservatives and is lower in fat and salt.

Had kielbasa in fridge but didn't know what to cook with it. Let me tell ya, this recipe isn't even close to "ho-hum" (that's what my husband calls meals sometimes). Made for supper last night, and he ate more than half (he's got a hardy appetite. **Kudos** to TOH for another great recipe.
