Ingredients
  

12 oz penne pasta

1 lb smoked sausage (sliced)

1 medium onion (diced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 red bell pepper (diced)

1 green bell pepper (diced)

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (drained)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp salt (to taste)

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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.

    Sauté Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion, red, and green bell peppers. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the drained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

          Add Pasta and Sausage: Once the sauce is simmering, add the cooked pasta and the browned sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.

            Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until well incorporated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
