  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
– 1 pound Cajun smoked sausage, sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish


Instructions

Creating this amazing Cajun Smoked Sausage Alfredo Pasta can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Cajun smoked sausage and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.

4. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and combined. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

6. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible pasta dish effortlessly.
