Yum Yum (Kielbasa and Spinach Pasta)

Jump to Recipe

Yum Yum, or (Kielbasa and Spinach Pasta), is a staple in our household. This meal is quick, easy, and everyone loves it. This dish is one you can’t go wrong with. My family nicknamed it Yum Yum for a reason! My 2 1/2-year-old son loves this meal, and we all know how difficult it can be cooking for a toddler. You can make it with whatever kind of noodles you wish, but my favorite are egg noodles or bow tie (Farfalle) Pasta. I also like to use hot Rotel rather than original to add some spice.

    Yum yum is right! This was so easy to make, did it all in my cast iron skillet! The spicy Rotel added the perfect amount of heat. I did add some minced garlic, onion powder, and Italian seasoning but it doesn’t necessarily need to be added to! This will definitely be on our rotation!
