Looking for a pre-race carbo load? You’ve come to the right place! This Sausage Pizza Pasta is made in just 30-minutes using just 8 simple and healthy ingredients. We’ve stripped a sausage pizza and turned it into a delicious healthy sausage pizza pasta that’s gluten-free friendly!
I feel like I crave pasta at least once a week (I mean, have you seen our Pesto Chicken Pasta?!), especially after a super hard cardio-based workout. Lately, I’ve been loving on all things white noodles. I used to be mortified to eat anything “refined,” but TBH, white pasta is the best kind of pasta! No fear, if you’re not into white pasta, you can buy your favorite such as gluten-free, whole grain, or quinoa-based. The pasta world is your oyster.
This recipe is very simple and only calls for 8 ingredients. You are more than welcome to make your own marinara sauce, but I picked up an organic, sugar-free sauce from the store. When browsing the different marinara sauces, I try and look for no sugar and a short ingredient list where I can pronounce every word. There are some great options out there these days!
Here’s what you need
- ground pork
- olive oil
- minced garlic
- cherry tomatoes
- fresh basil
- marinara sauce
- salt
- pasta
How could I forget, you also need cheese! It wouldn’t be a sausage PIZZA pasta without the cheese 😀

We make this every time I need a pasta treat! It is so good. I use ground Italian chicken sausage instead of pork for even more flavor. Yummy both ways.

One of my fav pasta dishes!!!
Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally
confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!

Where is the old recipe with wine and Italian sausage?
“So good, this one is really so good”, that’s what my boyfriend repeated after we tried this recipe together. We cook pasta almost every week and chose your recipe was not my regret 😉 It was amazing one!
AWWW this is THE BEST. <3
Nom Nom Nom I can’t wait to make this!!! My mouth is watering! I’m totally going to stop at TJs and pick up the gluten free pasta and try it out! We will see if Scott notices!
Oooo the BF would love this!! I’ll have to sub some beef sausages but I think I’ve found a winner for tomorrow night’s dinner 🙂 Thanks!
Meat. A way to a man’s heart.
I don’t think I can choose between pizza and pasta – I love both a lot!!
This looks delicious!!
Big pot of heaven right there.
Make me some paleo noodles. Thanks.
YUM!!! I love pasta dishes… I wonder what this would taste like with Turkey or Chicken sausage because I am a werdio and only eat turkey and chicken for meats!
I bet DELISH! I’m sure it won’t have as much flavor as the sausage, though…you you might want to amp up the basil and garlic 🙂
If I HAD to choose…pizza! But I love that you combined the two! 🙂
Oh yum! My husband would be a huge fan of this dish! Pizza or pasta…such a hard decision! I think I’d have to go with pizza though!!!
gul gul gul gul
You would.
I did vote for the applesauce on instagram, but maybe I voted for the wrong one because even though I’m not a huge pasta person this looks amazing!
