Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage slices until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously. Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Add the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  6. Return the sausage to the skillet and add cooked fettuccine. Toss to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce, ensuring every strand is enveloped.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for color and brightness.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days; simply reheat on the stove. For a fun twist, serve with a side salad or crusty keto bread to soak up the remaining sauce.
