# Instructions:
01 -
Slice smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sliced sausage. Cook until onions soften and sausage browns, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 -
Add chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine ingredients evenly.

Add dry whole wheat pasta to the pot, stir to submerge it fully in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

Remove pot from heat. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
07 -
Serve immediately, topping with remaining shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Stir pasta occasionally during simmering to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
