Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked pasta shells

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ½ tablespoon finely minced onion

  • 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes; drain.

  2. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, orange pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in Italian sausage; cook and stir until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in undrained tomatoes and heavy cream; reduce heat to medium-low and cook 5 minutes more.

  3. Mix pasta into sauce; stir in the Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.
