Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausage slices and cook until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the shrimp for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Sauté until they soften, about 4–5 minutes.
Step 5: Make the Creamy Sauce

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
