Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb andouille sausage
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes julienned
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 2 cups broth (vegetable/chicken)
- 2 cups half-and-half (or 1 heavy cream, 1 milk)
- 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 3 cups uncooked penne
- 8 leaves basil thinly sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Add olive oil and sausage to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown thee sausage for 8 minutes. If sausages are especially fatty, drain most of the fat.
– - Stir in the garlic, dijon mustard, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
– - Add in the the broth, half-and-half, cajun seasoning, and penne. Increase the heat to high. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium (or medium low if it continues to bubble a lot). Cook until the pasta is done and the sauce is reduced to your liking (about 20 minutes), stirring often so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
– - Season with salt & pepper and stir in the basil
Notes:
- some pastas absorb more liquid than others, so I suggest sticking to penne
