Even if you don't have a lot of time to spend getting dinner together, you can still charm your family with this clever meal idea. In less time than it takes the fusilli to cook, you can conjure up a spicy Alfredo sauce with blackened Smoked Sausage. When the pasta is done, just toss with the sauce. It's pure magic.

Very good. I managed to get it way too spicy though. Next time I'll go a little easier on the creole seasoning. I'm definitely going to try this again. Read More

YUMMMMM! Absolutely delicious. I haven't been able to taste alfredo in 6 years due to a car accident (its usually too weak tasting). But this is just perfect. Its sooo good. Just a suggestion... use Tony Chachere's for the cajun spice. Read More

We found it delicious. I had to use mushroom alfredo it was all the store had so I was a little nervous how it was going to work together but it was awesome. It's fast and easy to prepare. My only complaint is the pasta to sausage ratio there's just so much more pasta. Next time I'll either cut the sausage pieces in half or add more. I seriously recommend trying it. We now have this at least once a week. Read More

Delish! I'm not sure why but I didn't seem to have enough sauce when I poured it over the pasta. Next time I will toss the entire pot of pasta with the sauce/ sausage mixture before serving. Will make again maybe I'll use more hot sauce next time or even a mild or hot smoked sausage. Read More

This is one of our favorite throw together skillet meals. This works well with whole wheat pasta and I really prefer to make a homemade reduced fat Alfredo sauce. This also works well if you want to double but want to stretch your meat as well. All you do is throw in chopped veggies--we like spinach, broccoli, zucchini, peppers and onions. This rewarms well for those who want to portion out for lunches/dinners for the week. Read More

I really liked this recipe. Perfectly spicy (although I did add a bit more spice than was noted) without being TOO intense. I used regular spaghetti noodles because that's what I had in my pantry and it turned out great. Read More

I first I was a little skeptical about the combination but it was really good. Instead of fusilli pasta, I used tortellini with cheese. Overall, it was very good. Read More

I made this with some minor changes: I forgot to purchase fresh parsley so I substituted with 1/3 cup dried parsley. I also added some chopped onion which I cooked with the sausage until it was tender and the sausage browned. Because I like a more saucy pasta I used a little less pasta so I could taste the sauce! I loved the simplicity and speed to make this delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing! Read More
