How to Make Creamy Sausage Skillet
Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until it's nicely browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Sauté the Veggies: Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté everything together until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, around 5 minutes.
Incorporate the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream along with Italian seasoning. Stir gently until everything is well mixed and the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Season to Taste: Sprinkle in salt and pepper according to your preference. Taste the sauce to ensure it’s to your liking.
Mix in Pasta and Cheese: Add the cooked pasta and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well until the pasta is evenly coated in that luscious sauce, about 2 minutes.
Simmer Together: Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, ensuring it's heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.
Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
