Make this easy, one-pot creamy Cajun sausage pasta for a quick weeknight dinner. This comforting dish uses simple steps and minimizes cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 pound penne or bowtie pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced sausage, uncooked pasta, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, oregano, and pepper into a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir halfway through the cooking time.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
  5. Fold in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce.
  6. Serve the creamy Cajun sausage pasta immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute Italian sausage for smoked sausage if you prefer a different flavor base.
  • For a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning or use a mild blend.
  • If the sauce seems too thick after adding the cheese, add a splash more chicken broth or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
