Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon if using crumbled sausage. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Prepare the Cream Sauce:
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, letting the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Combine Everything:
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the drained pasta and toss until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce.
Finish with Cheese:
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
