How To Make A Cajun Pasta Sauce

1. Cook your sausage according to the directions on the package and then slice it into coin-sized pieces
2. Over medium to high heat, cook the sausage and bell peppers in a skillet for about 3 minutes
3. Be sure to turn them occasionally so one side doesn’t burn
4. Add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds
5. Add the heavy cream and Cajun seasoning to the skillet and bring everything to a boil
6. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for several minutes until it begins to thicken
7. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese
