Instructions
Step 1
1. Dice onion and bell pepper. Remove casings from sausage. cut in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 12 inch nuggets. place sausage into (12 in.) skillet and cook over medium for 6-8 min. or until golden brown.
Step 2
2. Add onion and bell pepper to skillet; cook an additional 2-3 min/until vegetables are tender. Add pressed garlic and pepper flakes; cook 10-20 seconds or until fragrant. stir in pasta, water, sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer; cover and cook 14-16 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
3. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in cream cheese until incorporated. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Cover and let stand 2-3 minutes or until cheeses are melted. (for this step I sometimes leave it on low heat so the cheese melts better)
