Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the spicy Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, including the juice, and cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the penne pasta to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook according to the pasta package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
