Creamy Spicy Cajun Sausage Pasta Quick Weeknight Dinner Idea | Recipe | Easy dinners for picky eaters, Pasta for picky eaters, Easy meals fo

Nov 17, 2025 — Creamy Spicy Cajun Sausage Pasta is the easiest weeknight meal you will make all month, needing only one pot for cleanup. Thi

This recipe + rotisserie chicken, mushrooms, instead of cajun I used creole (1.5 TBSP) and 2 tsp of smoked paprika

I had to make this dairy free so I used 5 TBSP of corn starch and 1.5 cups of parmesan cheese.

I sauteed the onions with the sausage and the mushrooms

I diced 3-4 large tomatoes

I used brats with rosemary, this added little pockets of yumminess. So grind some rosemary in for occasional rosemary.

Make sure to undercook the noodles. Then add them in just at the end.

If you are making this for meal prep, undercook the noodles even MORE.

Any pasta (i used shells)

1 rotisserie chicken shredded (didn't use the full thing, just eyeballed for the ratio)

2 tsp olive oil

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp cajun seasoning

The cajun I threw together as I don't have dedicated cajun seasoning:

Garlic, Spices (Including Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Oregano, and Chili Pepper), Sea Salt, Onion, Paprika, and Red & Green Bell Peppers.

(I was not going for accuracy, I just shook each seasoning in until it looked right) and for green peppers I used green chiles

A bunch of sundried tomatoes (at least 8) diced

Divide to place into noodle side and chicken side)

1 1/2 cup almond milk + 1 TBSP corn starch (this is for the chicken side)

1 cup almond milk + 1 TBSP corn starch (this is for the noodle side)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (both sides)

2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped, to serve

Instructions

Undercook your noodles, they will keep cooking while you prepare the rest of the meal

Toss chicjen in cajun seasoning

In a large non-reactive skillet*, heat 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat

Add in the almond milk+corn starch add the parmesan once the corn starch is fully incorporated

Add the chicken and cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until combined and pasta and chicken are warmed through. Add warm reserved pasta water if desired to thin the sauce. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and chopped parsley.

Notes

*I separated the noodues and chicken to different pans to get both better sauced up.

I modified this. I did not use apple cider. rather I used 1 cup of apple juice and the juice from the apples. I used a food processor to grind the apples and removed their juice for the caramel.

1 1/2 cups of apple juice

1 cup brown sugar

1/8 tartar sauce

1/2 cup sugar

2 TBSP butter

Easy One Pot Sausage And Rice

perfectly understated? I had to use up tomatoes so I substituted tomato paste with like... 50 cherry tomatoes

sauteed mushrooms gave this body, add them If you like them

I also doubled the rice (jasmine) but I believe this needs another cup at least.

I sauteed the mushrooms and onions in 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, I also added 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar to the rice as it was boiling.

The smoked paprika was only blended into the onions, I believe this was what gave everything such a subtle flavor along with the tomatoes. I also took away the teaspoon of salt.
