Equipment
- 1 Pressure cooker
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 13 oz Cajun andouille sausage sliced into coins
- 1 tablespoon Chopped garlic for that punch
- 14.5 oz Chicken broth about 2 cups to keep it juicy
- ½ cup Heavy cream for the creamy dream
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies adds a little kick
- 8 ounces Dry bowtie pasta roughly 2 cups
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese to melt on top
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning feel free to tweak to your liking
Instructions
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pressure cooker pot set to sauté, brown the cajun andouille sausage coins over medium heat for about 5 minutes until nice and golden. This brings out that wonderful sausage grease you don’t want to dump.
- Remove the sausage and set it aside on a paper towel lined plate. Don’t lose that grease in the pan.
- Throw the chopped garlic in the leftover sausage grease and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. If you like, toss in those chopped onions and bell peppers too before the garlic.
- Add in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and the can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies. Sprinkle in the cajun seasoning, then give everything a good stir.
- Stir in the dry bowtie pasta making sure it’s covered by the liquid. Place the lid on and seal your pressure cooker.
- Let the pressure build and cook the pasta under pressure for about 7 minutes. Then, do a natural release to keep that broth depth rich and prevent splatter.
- Open the lid and stir in your browned sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until melty and luscious. Serve right away and watch everyone dig in!
Notes
Serve creamy Cajun sausage pasta straight from the pot for a comforting dinner. Optional veggies or extras like cooked broccoli, leftover chicken, or shrimp can be added for variety.
