Ingredients

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Slice sausage into rounds and cook in a large pot over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Cajun seasoning and bring to a gentle boil.
4. Add farfalle pasta. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Return sausage to the pot along with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
Use a flavorful Cajun seasoning blend to match your spice level.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking while it cooks.
Add a splash of cream or broth when reheating to bring back the saucy texture.
