Ingredients

– 12 oz penne pasta
– 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, casings removed)

Instructions

Creating Creamy Sausage and Peppers Pasta is straightforward with the following steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into smaller pieces while cooking.

3. Add Vegetables: Once the sausage is cooked, add olive oil, chopped onion, and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4. Incorporate Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
