Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring spoonsMeasuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
