This lightening fast dinner comes together very very quickly in just 30 minutes from start to finish. And everything (and I mean everything) gets cooked in literally one skillet, no joke, even the uncooked fusilli pasta.

And feel free to use your favorite store-bought marinara sauce (I love Rao’s) or even spicy Italian sausage if you want a kick of heat. If you don’t have fusilli on hand, similarly shaped pasta like rotini and gemelli should work beautifully here.

It’s easy, fast, and so so convenient. And I don’t even mind the sneaked-in greens. I actually always throw in a little extra kale than what the recipe calls for to get my greens in for the day!

Pasta dish made from crumbled Italian sausage, fusilli pasta, torn kale, bell pepper and marinara sauce.
