Ingredients:
8 ounces elbow macaroni, dry
18 ounces of marinara sauce
⅓ c mozzarella cheese
1 pound pork sausage
2 bell peppers, diced
18 ounces water
⅓ c half and half
Directions:
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.
Add the sausages, then cook for a few minutes until crumbly and brown. Drain and discard any accumulated fat.
Add the dried elbow macaroni, water, bell peppers, and marinara sauce into the skillet with the sausage. Stir everything until well incorporated.
Turn the heat down to low, then simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes or until the macaroni is al dente. Stir from time to time to prevent the macaroni from sticking.
Stir in the cheese and half & half.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool for at least 2 minutes at room temperature to melt the cheese completely and incorporate all the flavors. Stir again until well blended.
Serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes:
Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then place them inside the fridge. They can last up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving again.
For the half & half, combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk.
