Ingredients
2 unsalted butter
1 pound spicy Italian sausage
Kosher salt, to taste
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, 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 (14,5 ounce) of 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 spice blend 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 10-12 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!
