Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons jazzy seasoning
  • 1 pound dried penne pasta
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 5 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat until just bubbling. Add the sausage and break up into crumbles, then season with salt. Brown for 2 minutes on 1 side, then stir and brown on the other side for 2 minutes more.
  • 2 Add the onion, season with salt, and cook for 2 minutes, until starting to soften. Add the jalapeño, garlic, and tomato paste. Stir to distribute the tomato paste. Add the Jazzy Seasoning and stir to combine.
  • 3 Add the pasta, red and green peppers, mushrooms, and salt and stir to combine. Pour in the tomatoes and stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pasta is cooked through and the peppers are tender but not mushy.
  • 4 Mix in the cream cheese to create a thick, creamy sauce.
  • 5 Serve garnished with scallions, if desired.
  • 6 Enjoy!
