- While the pasta is cooking, in a large sauté pan, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour off the fat from the pan.
- Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and shallots and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, green onions, and 1 tablespoon of the Essence, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine and cook until almost completely reduced.
- Add the shrimp and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons for the Essence.
- Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are just pink, about 1 minute.
- Add the lemon juice and cream and bring to a boil.
- Cook stirring until starting to thicken, about 1 minute.
- Add the cooked pasta, cheese and parsley, and toss to combine. Cook until the pasta is heated through and well coated, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Divide among 4 pasta bowls, garnish with additional green onions, and serve.
