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.
