Here’s a peek at the yummy dish we’re about to create. Isn’t it just gorgeous?
Ingredients You’ll Need
Grab your shopping list and let’s round up these ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) of penne pasta
- 1 lb (450g) smoked sausage, sliced (andouille is best!)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color you like)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
How to Make It
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making this delicious meal.
- Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage, cooking until it’s browned and heated through. This will give your dish that smoky flavor that we all love.
- Next, toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté them until they’re soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Stir it up nicely to combine everything.
- Now it’s time for the star of the show, the penne pasta! Add it right to the pot, making sure the pasta is submerged. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. When it’s all done, feel free to sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for that pop of color.
And there you have it! A warm, comforting bowl of One Pot New Orleans Cajun Pasta that will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). Serve it up with a side of crusty bread or some cornbread for an extra tasty meal!
