This easy, incredibly tasty one-pot Cajun sausage pasta is a flavorful dish that’s sure to please the entire family any night of the week!  Rich, delicious andouille sausage combines with a rich and creamy pasta to make a pasta dish that’s perfect with every bite!

Ingredients ½ tablespoon olive oil 12 oz andouille sausage 1 teaspoon garlic (minced) 4 cups chicken broth ¼ cup heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream, half & half, or whole milk) seasoning (Cajun & Herbes De Provence see recipe) 8 oz linguine pasta  8 oz cream cheese  parsley (optional garnish)

Sear the andouille sausages. Heat a stockpot or Dutch oven to medium heat and add ½ a tablespoon of olive oil. Then add 12 ounces of andouille sausages and sear.

Add sauce ingredients & pasta. Next, add 1 teaspoon of minced or crushed garlic to your pan and sauté for no more than 1 minute. 

Add sauce ingredients & pasta. Then  to the garlic, add 4 cups of chicken broth, ¼ cup heavy cream, 2  tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, ½ tablespoon of Herbes de Provence  seasoning, and 8 ounces of uncooked linguine pasta.

Simmer the pasta. Once you’ve added the sauce  ingredients and pasta, bring the pot to a boil. Then, reduce the heat of  the pan to low. Simmer the pasta uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, making sure to stir and scrape the bottom of the pan occasionally. Cook until the pasta is al dente (tender but with a firm core).

Melt the cream cheese. Next, add in slices, cubes, or  chunks of the softened 8 ounces of cream cheese to the sauce and stir  until smooth and thickened.

Finish. Once the cream cheese has thoroughly melted into the sauce, use small amounts of water or broth if needed to thin the sauce to your desired consistency. Finally, return the cooked, sliced andouille sausage to your pasta and stir to warm the sausage through.

Serve. When the sausage is heated, remove the pot from the heat and serve immediately. Garnish with optional fresh, chopped parsley.
