Ingredients

– 12 oz fettuccine pasta
– 1 lb Cajun smoked sausage, sliced
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Salt, to taste
– Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

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.
