What to Serve With Creamy Cajun Sausage Pasta"
This is a fairly heavy dish so I like to keep portions small and serve it with a few sides. Serve with:

Steamed Broccoli
Green Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing
Crusty Rolls
Pepperoncini Garlic Bread

 
How Spicy is This Dish"
This dish is fairly spicy. The heat comes from “Hot” Italian sausage, cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. To make it less spicy, leave the cayenne pepper out and use sweet Italian sausage. To make it spicier, add a few sprinkles of hot sauce or double the cayenne pepper. Which Shape of Pasta to Use"
I love mini penne, but any pasta shape can be used. Cavatappi, linguine, and rotini work well.
Recipe Tips
Don’t forget to reserve a little of the pasta liquid for the sauce. The starch in the liquid will help bind the sauce to the pasta. If you forget, no worries. Add a little chicken broth or milk if you need to thin the sauce some.
Leftovers will keep for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave. Add a splash of half-and-half or milk if it has gotten too dry.
