Our favorite weeknight dinners are the ones that require minimal thought and effort but pack in the flavor. We’re talking about the meals that can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less and only use one pot or pan. And of course, we need these meals to knock our socks off with flavor! That’s why we’re big fans of this Spicy Sausage Pasta dish – it takes under an hour to make, contains simple ingredients you probably already have in your house, and is packed with flavor, thanks to our Vienna Beef Spicy Smoked Sausage. Check out the full recipe below.

- 1 can of Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chiles, mild
- 1 tbsp olive oil
