Ingredients

  • 2-3 andouille sausages - you can substitute kielbasa but it's not the same
  • 2 red bell peppers chopped
  • 1/2 jalapeño finely minced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste mixed with 2 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream (35% milk fat)
  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • salt to taste - start with 1/2 tsp

Instructions

  • Cook the fettuccine in well salted water about one minute less than the directions specify. You can cook the pasta while you make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the sauce and pasta.
  • Add the sausage and red pepper and cook until the sausage is brown and the pepper is soft, around 3-4 minutes
  • Mix in the garlic, jalapeño and creole seasoning. Cook about one minute. Don't let the spices burn.
  • Add the tomato paste, stir and cook another minute.
  • Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer.
  • Taste and adjust the salt before you add the pasta.
  • Add the cooked pasta, stir to combine and cook about 2 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You often see cajun or creole recipes suggest kielbasa as a substitute for andouille. It's not the same but it will do in a pinch. You could try a chorizo in this dish as well.
This recipe calls for a lower salt creole seasoning. If you are using a different creole seasoning you may already have enough salt. Taste the sauce before you add any more.
