Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in the smoked paprika, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir in ½ cup of the white cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of white cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet.

Let it sit for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired
