Bow-tie Sausage Red Bell Pepper Mushroom Pasta

This is reallllly good! I love the sausage and the red bell pepper sauciness. I just need to think of a new name for it.

1 lb. box of bow-tie pasta.
1 lb. chicken sausage (any variety)(ie: you could get one pack of spicy and one pack of honey roasted) cut into semi-circles
1 large roasted red bell peper, diced
8-10 oz crimini or white button mushrooms, sliced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium yellow-onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cream
1 cup white cooking wine or chicken broth
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
salt + pepper

Basic Necessities:
Large pot
Large skillet
Cutting board

Bring a large pot of water to a boil + cook pasta until al dente. While that's boiling and cooking,
Slice mushrooms and dice onions and bell peppers. Cut sausage into semi-circles. Strain noodles + set aside.

Add olive oil to a large pre-heated skillet and sauté onions + garlic until lightly browned. Add sausage and allow to brown. Add bell pepper and mushrooms + sauté until soft. Add white wine or chicken broth and allow it to cook down for 3-5 min. Add cream, parmesan cheese, and season with salt + pepper.
