Steps

1

Cook pasta according to package directions until just al dente; drain.
2

While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir in flour.
3

Whisk in chicken broth until smooth, then stir in half and half.
4

Add salt, pepper, cayenne, and red pepper flakes and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
5

Stir in Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella until cheeses are melted and smooth.
6

Slice sausage into 1/4 inch pieces and add to the sauce, along with the chopped parsley and cooked pasta. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7

Preheat broiler. Pour the pasta mixture into a lightly greased, 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
8

Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
