  3. Then, add the garlic and tomatoes and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the chicken broth, milk, pasta, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  5. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Remove the cover and turn off the heat.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Optionally, garnish with chives or parsley. Serve hot. You can also serve this with a slice of garlic bread.

Notes

  • Storage Info:
  • Store Sausage and Peppers Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, just cool it completely before freezing, and it will keep for up to 1-2 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge if frozen. Then, warm it in a microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a little water or broth to loosen the sauce if necessary. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating without drying out the pasta.
