In the same pot, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add Pasta and Seasonings: Add the dry bowtie pasta and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in Cheese and Cream: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add Sausage: Return the cooked smoked sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes.
Serve: Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional shredded cheese and freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
