Main Ingredients
  • 1 pack (13 oz) cajun andouille sausage, cut into coins
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth (about 2 cups)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until browned to your liking.
  2. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, keeping the sausage grease in the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic in the leftover sausage grease for about a minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and cajun seasoning.
  5. Stir in the dry pasta, cover with a lid, and simmer on LOW for about 14 minutes.
  6. Once the pasta is fully cooked, toss in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Serve and enjoy!
