In a large pot (with your choice of oil or butter) add diced onion and sliced smoked sausage. Cook until onions are translucent and sausage has a bit of color.

Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute more.

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, diced tomatoes and spices then stir well. Bring to a boil. (Measure the spices with your heart! Don't be afraid to change up the spices either.)

Add your uncooked pasta to the pot and stir making sure most of the pasta is covered. If you need a bit more liquid add a little more chicken broth.

Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked. Stir every 5 minutes or so.

Remove from heat and stir in all the cheese. Serve and enjoy!
