Very good, but it takes longer than 15 min. for prep. (about 20-25 min.)

Delicious and different! Great recipe. I used Hillshire Farm hot links because I didn't have andouille.I followed the recipe except instead of cooking my shrimp in with the pasta I just threw them right into sauce when I added the sausages back in with the Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. I added fresh minced parsley too.I had some leftovers for lunch today and I think it's even better than last night! Thanks so much for posting this Bev! I am becoming a fan of your recipes!

Simply outstanding! Loved it. I had some leftover chicken, so I substituted that for the shrimp and reduced the recipe to feed two. And I used Old Bay seasoning in place of the allspice. This may very well be my favorite dish for andouille. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

Excellent! We cannot get andouille sausage where I live,so, I used a very lean Polish sausage, which I cut in strips and smoked on the b.b.q. other wise I followed the recipe exactly. Just terrific. Thanks.

Fabulous. I don't eat meat so just picked out the sausage. My DH thought it was great. I used rotel for the diced tomatoes. Will keep this one for sure. Very easy to toss together. Thanks Bev.
