Notes
Use Andouille sausage for a spicier, authentic Cajun flavor.
Stir pasta frequently to prevent sticking in the one-pot method.
Add extra broth if the pasta absorbs too much liquid.
Adjust spice level with cayenne or extra Cajun seasoning.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
