• Serves: 2

• 3  cloves garlic, minced

3. Cook sliced sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through; remove and set aside.
4. Melt 1 tbsp butter and saute garlic for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add onion, peppers, and cajun seasoning.

7. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
8. When the onions and peppers have softened, add in the cooked sausage and heat through.
9. Drain pasta, top each serving with a big spoonful of the sausage, onions,& peppers, and serve.
