This smoked sausage Cajun Alfredo has been my family’s favorite for a long time! It is super good, they are begging me to make this over and over again! This recipe has been one of my go-to for easy weeknight meals. This dish has the perfect amount of spice so I do not have to worry about this dish being too spicy for my children. But if you are still worried, you are welcome to decrease the amount of Cajun seasoning according to your preference. Also, if you want to use other shapes of pasta, you can! I also use turkey-smoked sausage to cut down on calories. And yes, it tastes as amazing if you use a regular smoked sausage!
For the perfect dinner, serve this Cajun Pasta with some bread, green beans, or salad. Make sure not to miss this, easy recipe. It’s a must-try and no doubt a keeper!
