Cajun Alfredo Penne Pasta & Sausage
A quick meal that is comfort food at it’s best! I used hot Italian sausage as it adds so much flavor, but you can use whatever sausage is your favorite. Cook your sausage and pasta, warm the Alfredo sauce and toss, it’s that easy!
Slice the sausage into 1/2″ pieces, cook them in a skillet over medium heat but do NOT add oil to the skillet.
Cook the sausage until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Take a paper towel and carefully wipe out the grease on the skillet.
Add the Alfredo sauce, milk and cajun seasoning to the sausage. Cover and cook on low until hot but not boiling, stirring frequently.
Cook the penne pasta accordingly to package directions and drain.
Return pasta to hot pan.
Pour the Alfredo sauce with sausage over the pasta and toss until all of the pasta is coated with the sauce.
Then serve!

YESSSS!!!!
Thank you Kev, the spicier the better right? 🥰
Lol, at one time I would’ve agreed, now, jalapenos are the limit for me.
Yum– looks delish, Diane! Thanks😄
Thank you so much and you’re very welcome!
YUMMYLICIOUS!
You are a spicy young man! Thank you💕
Hmmmm….. 🙂
Oh yeah. My post-Christmas diet is doing REAL well now!
I do have a similar recipe that I use, but good Italian sausage is tough to get here.
I have found only one I love, luckily it’s close. If they stop making it or change the recipe I don’t know what I will do! Lol
Thank you for reblogging❣️
Alfredo? It’s my ultimate comfort food, and this recipe looks fantastic. Thanks, Diane!
Mine too Kellye, thank you so much! 💕
This looks like a quick and easy dinner that my kids would love, I could make without a ton work after already working all day!!
It was great reheated, too, if you wanted to make it the day before. Thank you 💕
Looks very creamy and comforting.
Thank you Dorothy, I loved the leftovers the next day too.
I would love a plate of that right now. Looks so comforting and yummy on this cold winter day!
Thanks Ab, I love the penne pasta because the sauce goes inside the hole.
Yes, penne pasta is wonderful!
I do love pasta! We don’t eat it often but this looks delicious!
I could eat it everyday, I’m addicted to carbs if you haven’t noticed! Lol
I’m with you, I love carbs but we try to lower our intake for my husband’s health. But they are the best!
This speaks to me and calls my name – that looks so good Diane. Never met a pasta I didn’t like!
You and me both! I go on withdrawal without pasta.
Yes but add about half a block of Gorganzolla cheese to the sauce and it is a meal
I don’t think I have ever had Gorgonzola cheese Kevin. I’m not a lover of blue cheese but I believe this is milder than most blue cheeses so I may like this.
I have to admit that I’m a fan of anything with sausage in it! But add cheesy and creamy and pasta, and it’s practically scientifically engineered to make me want it! Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you Jeff and your welcome.
This recipe looks so very appetizing!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the reblog💕
For me, pasta just spells comfort food! And your pasta dish is definitely a winner!
We would get along so well (but your husband has to be there too. I will make the pasta and he can grill up the rest!) Thank you Corna it’s so nice to see you back!
Oh you two will cook up a storm!! I’m trying to catch up with all my favourite bloggers after a hectic month … Berto was in hospital for more than a week and in the operating room twice (his one lung was filled with fluid). He is now back at home, but it will take a long time to fully recover. However, we were blessed with my mother visiting us during this time, our friends who called often, as well as our church and Berto’s work colleagues (this just proved again how important it is to have a support system). Now, we appreciate life (and each other) just that much more!
OMG I am so sorry Berto (and you) have had to go through this. I’m so glad he’s doing better and is back home! Thank God for support systems, you surely needed it. Please give him my best and I will continue to pray for a complete recovery Corna.
Thank you so much Diane, your prayers are greatly appreciated … and to think about it, you are actually part of my support system now too 💌.
Good!
