Ingredients
1/2 pound penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
13 ounces Cajun andouille smoked sausage
1 (15-ounce) jar store-bought alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons water
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, slice the andouille sausage into 1/4-inch thick coins.
Heat the olive or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are browned and the sausage is heated through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the alfredo sauce and water until combined, then add the cooked pasta to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce, about 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust consistency with additional water if needed, then serve immediately.
