Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Penne

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Sausage and Vegetables

  1. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, slice the Italian sausage and add it to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients for Sauce

    Add the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Cream

    Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Combining Everything

  1. 6

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
