In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until golden; discard grease.
Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes or until soft. Add shells; stir until coated in sausage and peppers; pour marinara sauce and chicken stock/broth over mixture; stir.
Simmer until shells are al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Stir in half and half and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve, garnished with parsley.
