- 2 green bell peppers diced
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni
- 18 ounces marinara sauce
- 18 ounces water plus maybe more

Crumble the sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, breaking up any chunks as they cook.
Drain off any fat. Add the peppers, macaroni, sauce and water.
Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes until the pasta is tender, stirring often. Add more water if needed.
Stir in the half and half and top with the cheese.
Cover and remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
