Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the red and green bell peppers. Thinly slice the chicken sausage into coins.

In a large pot, heat 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, and set aside in a bowl.

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms, and sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes.

Mix in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the vegetables from the pot and add them to the bowl with the sausage.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions, subtracting 1 minute from the indicated cook time. Drain the pasta and set aside.

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the flour, constantly whisking until a dough forms. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually add the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly.

Raise the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, microwave the cream cheese until softened. Add the softened cream cheese, cajun seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, whisking until fully combined.

Remove the sauce from the heat, and stir in the cooked pasta, chicken sausage, vegetables, and any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Toss until everything is coated.

Gradually mix in the grated parmesan cheese, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
