Description

A delightful one-pot dish featuring Cajun andouille sausage, creamy sauce, and bowtie pasta, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • Cajun Andouille Sausage (13 oz pack, cut into coins)
  • Chopped Garlic (1 tbsp)
  • Chicken Broth (14.5 oz can, about 2 cups)
  • Heavy Cream (½ cup)
  • Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Chilies (10 oz can)
  • Dry Bowtie Pasta (8 oz, about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Cajun sausage for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned to your liking.

  3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped garlic in the leftover grease for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes with chilies, heavy cream, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until combined.
  5. Add the uncooked bowtie pasta, cover with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for approximately 14 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked.
  6. Stir in the cooked sausage and a few cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Enjoy!
