How to Make Kielbasa And Sauerkraut Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a boil.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper, chopped, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 pound of kielbasa, sliced, and cook until the kielbasa begins to brown (about 8 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar of sauerkraut, drained, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  7. Cook for another 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (optional) and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Gently toss the cooked pasta with the kielbasa and sauerkraut mixture until well combined.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
