Spicy Sausage & Pepper One-Pot Pasta
Note to self: when handling hot peppers in the kitchen wear gloves.
I learned the hard way what can happen when you don’t! I was prepping jalapeno poppers for a night in with friends. I was cutting jalapenos and removing the seeds inside with my gloveless fingers. Then without thinking, I itched my eye.
OUCH! It was an intense burning sensation. I freaked out and tried flushing out my eye with water to soothe the intensity. My eye was bothering me the whole night and really put a damper on any kind of fun. I still cook with jalapenos and other hot peppers, but I always wear gloves! Avoiding a fiery eyeball is a good incentive.
My gloves of choice are Clean Ones Kitchen Essentials Disposable Gloves. Not only are they great to use for handling peppers, but they also work for other kitchen jobs like dishes, handling meat and more.
Some of the key features include:
- Latex Free
- Powder Free
- Phthalate Free
- BPA Free
They are made of a high quality vinyl material and were designed specifically for food handling. Plus, they are super comfy to wear. I’m able to prepare our meals and barely notice I’m wearing gloves. They help make food prep safer and your hands won’t smell like whatever it is you’re cooking. It’s nice not to smell like garlic or onions!
With hot peppers, it’s imperative to wear gloves. I want to avoid any mishaps like I had in the past.

The same goes for meat! I don’t like handling raw meat with my bare hands. It’s icky! With these sausages, I had to squeeze them out of the casing. I was glad to have my Clean Ones Kitchen Essentials Disposable Gloves for the task!
Plus, it’s cleaner too. I’m sure my family would rather me use gloves than handle their dinner with my bare hands.
This greasy mess would have been all over my hands.
Gloves are recommended for my recipe for Spicy Sausage & Pepper Pasta! You’ll be chopping up a variety of peppers and squeezing some hot sausage. Good times.
This simple one-pot pasta cooks entirely in your Dutch oven. It does require a bit of prep work with all the chopping. Make sure to don your pair of Clean Ones gloves first.
I recommend keeping a cold beverage close by. It’s a little spicy! To tone down the heat, use mild Italian sausage and one jalapeno pepper instead of two.
I don’t mind the heat just not in my eyes!
Fill your belly with this spicy and cheesy dish. It’s especially good in the winter when you are craving comfort foods to warm you up.

This is going to be made a lot in my home! It looks and sounds sublime and I love the awesome ingredients and how it looks so delicious when it’s ready.Thank you for posting this great fall recipe Stacie.
i love anything that has to do wtih sausage
I have not had a mishap with peppers but it’s a reminder you can’t hear too often. Have you asked your grocery store or butcher about getting the meat without the casing? We can do that at some stores in our area.
This is of course way too spicy for me but this is something my son would love. 🙂
This recipe is awesome! We live in Dallas where we like spicy foods and are picky, so let me tell you that this is truly 5 stars!
We do a similar recipe, love this version!
Every recipe I’ve tried from here, has been absolutely fantastic!
Those sound like great gloves. Certain foods stain your hands and even after washing they still do not come clean, great option!
Wow! This looks so thick and delicious! I’ll definitely be making it soon!
No, I have never had a kitchen mishap with peppers. I must say, I really like spicy dishes and I am looking forward to giving this a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This sounds like a great one pot dinner. I love quick and easy dinners they save my but a lot nights during the school year.
I know what you mean about itching your eye with “hot” hands. After the birth of my last child I had my husband snag a few extra pairs of the gloves so that I would have them on hand for green chili season. Next year I will be looking to buy a few pairs.
Your one pot dinner looks amazing! I love one pot dinners and how easy they make dinner on a busy night.
Pinned it! Looks tasty. And I have sausage in the fridge!! Doubly perfect!
The “fiery eyeball” thing made me laugh! Though I know it isn’t funny at the time, by personal experience. Gloves are a must!!
I’m licking my lips right now! Looks so good! Pinned and tweeted. We truly appreciate you taking the time to be a part of our party. Please stop by and party with us again. The party starts Monday at 7 pm and ends on Friday at 7 pm. Happy Sunday! Lou Lou Girls
We are always looking for different recipes to prepare for our “Italian night”
This recipe looked so good, I am going to make it this coming weekend. I thank you so much for the share.
