Cajun Smoked Sausage Alfredo

This Cajun-flavored sausage alfredo is dinner in a dash! This skillet dinner is roughly 15 minutes from start to finish.

Here’s a quick and tasty dinner for those days you just have no time but want to eat something homemade and real!

This is ready in roughly 15 minutes, but if you happen to have any leftover pasta–this is a 5-minute dish!

The Cajun spice gives a new dimension to this quick alfredo sauce. Blends nicely with the flavor of the smoked sausage. Kielbasa can be substituted here too, and andouille sausage would be out of this world–however, it’d take longer to make since you have to cook that sausage; it’s not ready to eat.

Tasty and on the table quickly

I gave directions to use heavy cream, but I did cheat a bit and used about 1/4 cup of light cream just to use up the container in the fridge. I would not suggest using a majority of light cream nor half and half; the sauce will be too thin.  This isn’t a diet dish, so I wouldn’t attempt to make it into one–there may be some disappointment with the final product, mainly consistency of the sauce.  So use cream and go back on your diet tomorrow LOL!!!

Not only is this meal absolutely delicious for such a quick meal, the vibrant colors of everything that goes into it makes for great visual appeal.

This one’s a keeper!
