A creamy, garlicky pasta infused with a spicy Cajun kick, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, sliced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to let it brown!
  4. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
  5. Add the Cajun seasoning along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and let it simmer for another couple of minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
  6. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. This is where the magic happens!
  7. Add the cooked penne pasta and browned sausage into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is generously coated with the creamy sauce.
  8. Spoon the pasta onto plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for that vibrant touch. Serve hot, and watch your loved ones dive in!

Notes

For a lighter version, swap half of the heavy cream for broth. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
