Sometimes, forgetting ingredients at the grocery store turns into a happy accident! I forgot a few things for my Cajun Sausage Pasta & modified the recipe a bit as I went. It actually turned out better than the original! This one pot pasta dish is so so easy, it only takes about 30 minutes to make & has the creamiest sauce with a little kick! 
 Here’s what I used: * 1 box of pasta * 1 tablespoons olive oil * 2 tablespoons butter * 4 andouille sausages, sliced * 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (less if you don’t want as much spice) * 2 cups mushrooms, sliced * 1 yellow onion, chopped * 4 garlic cloves, pressed or chopped * 2 cans chicken broth * 4 oz cream cheese (half a block) * 2 bell peppers, chopped * 1 tablespoon dried basil * 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated * Salt & Pepper 1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat & add the sausage & onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the peppers, mushrooms & garlic. Cook for about 5 more minutes. Then stir in your seasonings. 2. Pour the noodles directly into the pan & cover with the 2 cans of chicken broth. Stir to combine & place the lid on top to let the broth come to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium & let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes. If you like your noodles softer, add a few extra minutes. If you notice the broth has all been absorbed, you can add another 1/4 cup of broth at a time. 3. Stir in the cream cheese, butter & parmesan, seasoning with a little extra salt & pepper. If you want more spice, add a little more cajun seasoning. *If you’re gluten free, opt for GF noodles. If you’re dairy free, you can substitute dairy free cream cheese & butter and use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan.
