2 tablespoons (¼ stick) salted butter

1 to 2 shallots, diced

1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, cut into ¼-inch pieces (optional)

3 cloves (1 tablespoon) garlic, minced or pressed

3 cups garlic or chicken broth (I used 3 teaspoons Garlic Better Than Bouillon 3 cups water)

2 cups marinara sauce (I use Victoria brand), divided

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup fresh basil, loosely packed

1 pound (1 box) of mezze penne or ziti rigati

12 ounces frozen meatballs (optional; if you don’t feel like using frozen meatballs, you can make my awesome ones here - just make them half the size)

½ cup heavy cream or half & half

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

5.2-ounce package of Boursin (any flavor) or 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunky cubes

½ cup pesto sauce (Costco has my fave if not making your own - see Jeff’s Tip)
