Creole Sausage Pasta image

My husband and I created a delicious okra creole recipe years ago. We use a lot of different kinds of meat and one day decided to try it out with Italian sausage. It was a huge hit! I make a batch on Sunday and we enjoy the leftovers during the week!-Lisa Nelson, Bluffton, South Carolina
