Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces pasta (any shape you like)
  • 10 ounces smoked sausage, sliced (beef or chicken sausage works great)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced (red or green)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Seasoning and Garnish
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until the veggies soften, approximately 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, followed by the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 12–15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Top with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve warm!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth.
