- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 package Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 tsp Cajun seasonin
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, until it’s al dente—usually about 10 minutes depending on the shape—then drain it and set it aside.
While the pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the sausage for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally so it browns evenly.
Add the cream and Cajun seasoning to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until it begins to thicken, then remove it from the heat.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Finally, add the drained pasta to the skillet, toss to coat evenly with the sauce, and serve hot.
-
Use smoked sausage or spicy Italian sausage for added depth of flavor.
-
Grate Parmesan fresh for the best texture and taste—it melts more smoothly than pre-shredded.
