Categories main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
12 ounces fettuccine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
4 scallions, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly from the boiling water into the cream sauce using tongs or a pasta fork. Sprinkle the pasta with the Parmesan and toss to combine. Add a splash of the starchy pasta water to help the sauce thicken and coat the pasta. Top with chopped parsley and serve with additional Parmesan.

Cajun Andouille Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-5765

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds boned pork butt
1 pound pork back fat
3 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3/4 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1/3 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon Morton Tender Quick Home Meat Cure
1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

Grind all of the pork and fat through a one-quarter inch or three-eighths inch plate. Refrigerate the ground pork until well chilled, ideally 32 to 34 degrees Fahrenheit. When the meat is chilled, mix the water with the Morton cure. Then thoroughly mix the remaining ingredients with the water/cure mixture. Then thoroughly mix the water/cure/spice mixture with the ground pork. Immediately stuff into 1½ inch hog casings. Hang the sausage in your smoker. Start smoking at 135°F with the vents slightly open for 20 minutes to dry the casings. Then increase the temperature to 165 degrees and continue smoking, applying medium smoke until the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 155°F. Immediately remove the sausage from the smoker and shower the sausage with water until the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 110°F. Allow the sausage to dry for 10 to 15 minutes and immediately package and place in the refrigerator or freezer.
