Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lb spicy italian sausage, cut into rounds
kosher salt, to taste
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons McCormick® Jazzy Spice Blend
1 lb dried pasta, penne
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
8 oz mushroom, stemmed and sliced
14 ½ oz fire-roasted tomato, 1 can
4 cups chicken stock
5 oz cream cheese, cubed
2 scallions, thinly sliced for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat until just bubbling. Add the sausage and then season with salt. Brown for 2 minutes on 1 side, then stir and brown on the other side for 2 minutes more.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Mix in the cream cheese to create a thick, creamy sauce.
  • Serve garnished with scallions, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
