Steps:
- Cook pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to al dente package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
- While pasta cooks, sauté vegetables: In a large, deep skillet heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are almost softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add sausage and season: Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sausage to the pan along with the Italian seasoning. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking the sausage up into large crumbles as you go, for about 4-6 minutes, or until sausage is almost browned. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add flour and deglaze: Sprinkle the flour over sausage and stir well. Cook 1-2 minute to remove raw flour taste. Add the wine (or 1/3 cup broth) to deglaze the pan. Stir well, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
- Add liquids and simmer: Stir in the broth and then add the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
- Add pasta: Stir in the cooked pasta. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Add parmesan: Turn off the heat and gradually stir in parmesan cheese, one handful at a time. Stir until cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
- Serve: Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and top with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. Serve and enjoy!

ONE-POT CREAMY SHELLS AND SAUSAGE
Just like your favorite boxed shells and cheese, this recipe turns out a dinner that's creamy, irresistible and made in a single pot. But unlike the boxed version, this upgrade will fill up the whole family-thanks to the addition of hearty Italian sausage and Muir Glen™ tomato basil pasta sauce. Cooking the whole meal in a single pot isn't just convenient, it also allows you to build flavor as you go. Here's what we mean: It all starts with browning the sausage until it's cooked through. Removing the sausage but not the rendered fat it leaves behind adds deep savory flavor to the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes that get sautéed next. After your aromatics, you'll add the tomato sauce, which is handy since it'll help deglaze the pan and integrate more flavor into your sauce. With the addition of the broth, you'll have enough liquid to cook your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked through, all that's left is adding the cream and cooked sausage. Serve this up with shredded Parmesan and basil, and you've got a delectable dinner that might just become a part of your regular rotation.
