Instructions

First heat your large saucepan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil (1 tbsp) and sliced sausage (200g | 7oz). Cook for a few minutes until it browns a little then add the garlic (2 cloves, crushed) and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.

Then add the stock (500ml | 2 Cups), cream (300ml | 1 + 1/4 Cup) and cajun seasoning (1 tbsp). Give it a good mix and bring it up to the boil.

Next add in the pasta (250g | 8.8oz), give it a quick stir and bring back to the boil again. Reduce the heat to a simmering boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until the pasta is cooked to your liking.

Make sure to stir it frequently, particularly towards the end as you don’t want it to catch and burn on the bottom.

Finally, when the pasta is cooked, add in the parmesan cheese (50g | 2/3 Cup) and give it a good old mix until it’s melted and evenly distributed.

If you like, you can stir through a handful of chopped fresh parsley, or simply scatter some on top for garnish. With or without, this is going to taste amazing. Don’t worry!
