Instructions
Instructions
- Heat your pot or a deep skillet over medium heat. Toss in sausage medallions and cook until brown and a little crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook about 4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Pour in gluten-free penne pasta followed by diced fire-roasted tomatoes. Add chicken broth and sprinkle Cajun seasoning. Stir well.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and cover with lid. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and broth mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Lower heat, stir in cream cheese until melted completely. Simmer 2-3 more minutes to thicken sauce.
- Taste pasta and add salt if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.
