Creating One Pan Cheesy Smoked Sausage & Pasta is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Sauté Sausage: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Incorporate Pasta: Add the penne pasta to the pan, stirring to combine with the sausage and vegetables.
4. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
5. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
7. Add Cheese: Remove the lid and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and creamy.
8. Taste and Adjust: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a delicious meal that everyone will love.
