In the same skillet, add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.

Stir in Cajun seasoning and paprika, then pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Add penne pasta directly into the simmering sauce, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until pasta is al dente, about 12-15 minutes.
