How to Make Cajun Spaghetti
I love making this pasta around Mardi Gras. That’s because it has amazing southern flavor! Not only is it delicious, it’s super easy to make and the ingredients are pretty basic.
- Cooking Pasta: Place water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Then cook the spaghetti noodles as directed on the package. Drain and set aside. (Reserve some of the pasta water to thin the sauce if needed later..)
- Brown Sausage: add Place the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip halfway through until both sides are brown. Remove from pan and store.
- Vegetable dishes: Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds. Then add chopped red bell pepper and chopped shallots. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Combine: Please stirtomato pasteAdd Cajun seasoning and flour and slowly pour in the chicken broth.
- whisk:Whip in the heavy cream. Add to boiling water and cook until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- add: Whisk until Parmesan cheese is completely melted. Add the cooked spaghetti and brown sausage to the skillet and mix to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving Cajun spaghetti.
Alyssa’s Expert Tips
Isn’t the sauce too thick? I think I need to boil it a little longer. However, if you turn off the heat, it will continue to thicken.
