Creating this incredible dish is simple if you follow these straightforward instructions:

1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about a cup of pasta water.

2. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Cajun smoked sausage and cook for about 5 minutes until browned.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Make Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.

5. Season: Add the Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

6. Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce and sausage. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.

7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Cajun Smoked Sausage Alfredo Pasta while it’s hot!
