# Instructions:
01 -
Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced sausage. Sauté until the onions are softened and the sausage is browned.
03 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
04 -
Pour in the chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes with their juices, heavy cream, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine.
05 -
Add the dry whole wheat bow tie pasta to the pot. Stir to ensure all the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
06 -
Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
07 -
Serve immediately. Top with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
# Notes:

Use a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven to prevent sticking during simmering and stir the pasta regularly to ensure even cooking.
