very simple, and tasty! I will make this again.

Wonderful! I used jar creamy alfredo sauce. I would have added some sun-dried tomatoes if I’d had them, but no. I did add some shrimp, though, in addition to the andouille, 1/2 of each. Next time I’ll add some red pepper flakes. Less and less a fan of angel hair pasta, so used Farfalle.

It was delicious! It was the perfect Cajun Alfredo. My kids rated it a 3.5 and my husband a 4 (who went back for seconds). I added more Cajun seasoning since some reviews said it could use more. And we made a little more of the Alfredo sauce. Very good, will make again.

Yum

HEAVEN! I didn’t use sausage or sage because I was out of both. I doubled the cajun seasoning and added cayenne. Followed the recipe on everything else and it was great. Thanks for sharing.

Made this for my family as I had some andouille sausage to use. It was so good! I used chicken instead of shrimp because my toddler has an allergy with shrimp and doubled the Cajun seasoning. Topped off spaghetti noodles with it and we all loved it. Definitely recommend ?? Great recipe!

What a delicious recipe! I added 4 white mushrooms and made my own sauce but this was truely divine.

Very good, but will make a change per our liking. I will saute the andouille sausage by itself 1st before adding onion, celery & pepper. I’ll also use the dutch oven because once everything is in the pan it is hard to stir together if you don’t in a dutch oven. Will make again.

Set it for 15 and fed a dozen with kids mixed in. Easy because I watched but it went together. We did all fresh vegs and cooked them a bit longer and also the appreciated authentic Cajun sausage. 5 minutes at the end for shrimp and some crab we threw in.

Sliced the sausage instead of diced but that is the only change I made. This is good but it needs more cajun seasoning in my opinion. Easy fix. I also thought it would have benefited from a thicker more firm pasta. Regular spaghetti over the angel hair maybe?
