Instructions

In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat,add one tablespoon of avocado oil and cook the sliced kielbasa sausage until lightly browned.
Add the onions and bell peppers. Saute for 2-3 minutes just until they begin to soften. Then add garlic and saute for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Chicken Broth,diced tomatoes,heavy cream,seasonings,and the uncooked pasta to the dutch oven. Stir to combine and ensure the pasta is mostly submerged in sauce. You can add an additional 1/2 cup of broth if more liquid is needed.
Bring the pot to boil,and then reduce the heat to simmer.Simmer For About 12-16 minutes, or until the pasta reaches desired texture. Different noodles will require different cooking times. Make sure to stir often to make sure the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot and that it cooks evenly.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Add Shredded cheese and fold together using a wooden spoon, until fully melted and combined.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
