You'll find smoked turkey sausage in links or rings near kielbasa and other smoked sausage.

“Snip” green onions with a scissors directly over the cooked fettuccine. You won’t dirty an extra knife or cutting board!

One of my absolute favorite pasta recipes. I omit the cajun seasoning and used cayenne pepper instead. Quite a bit spicier than my husband can tolerate, but my 8yo enjoyed it! There were no leftovers.

So simple but so good! I made a slightly larger batch by using a 12 oz. jar of roasted peppers, 12 oz. of evaporated milk, 1 lb. of sausage, and 1 1/2 tsp. of seasoning (plus a few shakes of cumin). Makes a very flavorful sauce with just a few simple ingredients - everyone loved it!
