fresh Italian sausage for Cajun Pasta Sausage

For this pasta recipe, use fresh Italian sausage from the meat counter if possible. You can lower the amount of sausage to 2 links and then use the other 2 links for another recipe. Try our sausage rice and beans recipe for another great family meal. This saves money on your grocery bill and the fresh sausage can be used in two recipes.

Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet with the cooked sausage and cream. Don’t forget to add the Cajun seasonings!

We love McCormicks Cajun seasoning, but find your own favorite brand and use it in all your Cajun recipes.
