1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced andouille sausage until brown and caramelized.
2
Add the finely chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
3
Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pan, ensuring all the flavorful bits are scraped from the bottom of the skillet, then allow to cook until the wine has been absorbed.
4
Next, add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Let this mixture simmer for about 5 minutes before adding the Cajun spice blend and freshly ground black pepper.
5
Stir in the heavy whipping cream, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
6
Finally, add the cooked Penne Rigata and stir well until the pasta is coated in the creamy Cajun sauce. Let this cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce. Serve hot.
