Gluten-Free One Pot Pasta Bake – The Recipe

Gruyere and cream cheese are what made the sauce extra creamy. The pasta is tossed with the sauce and then topped with mozzarella cheese, which gives this Italian meal that cheesy goey topping we love so much!

The result → baked pasta in the most flavourful creamy, cheesy tomato sauce and melted mozzarella topping. For extra heartiness and flavor, the chorizo sausage. However, the chorizo is optional.

You will love the simplicity of this gluten free one pot creamy tomato pasta bake. The best part is that you only need about 10 minutes of hands-on for this recipe.

The flavor is outstanding, and you only need one pot, such as a large oven-proof skillet. This means easy cleanup! If you don’t have oven-proof skillet, it’s not a problem – use a baking pan. So easy.
