For a richer flavor, use a high-quality smoked sausage. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta, such as rotini or farfalle. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
02
StepAdd sausage to the pot with the chicken and continue cooking until sausage is lightly browned and has rendered some of its fat, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
03
StepPour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add penne pasta and Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine, ensuring pasta is submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
04
StepReduce heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer gently until pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
05
StepRemove the pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in parsley. Taste and adjust Cajun seasoning as needed.
06
StepGarnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
