The Process

1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Add sliced sausage and sear on each side. Remove and set aside.
2. Add in minced garlic and saute for 1 - 2 minutes.
3. Pour in chicken broth, half and half, and sundried tomatoes, bringing to a low boil, stirring consistently.
4. Add pasta to the boiling pan and wait for it to cook enough to stir and submerge into the sauce.
5. Cook until pasta is done, stirring regularly, then add in the cream cheese and combine.
6. Add a few more tbsp of half and half for a thinner sauce. Incorporate the sausage and topping with grated cheese if desired.
