1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned.

2. Add garlic and chopped onion. Cook until fragrant and softened.

3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and bring to a boil.

4. Add uncooked pasta and reduce heat. Cover and simmer until pasta becomes tender.

5. Stir occasionally so pasta cooks evenly and absorbs the creamy sauce.

6. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

7. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.

8. Let the pasta rest for two minutes so the sauce thickens.

9. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Use short pasta shapes like penne or rotini.

Add spinach or mushrooms for extra vegetables.

Store leftovers in refrigerator up to three days.
