Cajun Chicken and Sausage Pasta

This Cajun Chicken and Sausage Pasta is chock full of smoked sausage and chicken in a creamy, cheesy cajun sauce. It’s the perfect quick and easy, dinner recipe for busy weeknights!

Creamy Chicken pasta recipes with smoked sausage or andouille has been a staple in my family’s home as long as I can remember.

Both of my grandmothers and my mamma taught me how to cook delicious cajun and creole food. Of course, now I put my own personal touch on some of their beloved recipes.

My family is a bunch of food-loving Cajuns, from Louisiana. And my grandparents’ first language was cajun french.

When I was little, I use to love when my grandmothers got together to cook.

I was always mesmerized by the language they spoke, and the way they made cooking look like an art form.

Often they would put me on a stool next to them while they stirred the pots and prepared all the ingredients.

Sometimes my grandmother’s would speak to me in French, though I never understood them.

My paw-paw even tried teaching me how to speak french. Sadly, my grandpa passed away before I learned the language.

It drove me crazy when my family would visit our relatives in the country, and they all spoke cajun french except my siblings and me.

It was probably because my mom could only understand the language but, never was able to speak it fluently.

But, that never stopped my maw-maw from speaking to my mom in her dialect.

No matter the language barriers between my family and our relatives the one thing that we all shared in common was our love for good ole Cajun food!

Melt half stick of butter in the skillet and slowly add a cup of whipping cream, a little bit at a time. Stir in one tablespoon of cajun seasoning and 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens.

Next, mix in the chicken and sausage. Then toss in the pasta. Don’t forget to top the pasta with the remaining 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
