How to Make Fiery Fettuccine

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the fettuccine cooks, combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the blended sauce over medium heat. Stir frequently until slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Add 8 ounces of cooked smoked sausage, sliced, and the cooked fettuccine to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
  6. Reduce heat to low and gently warm through for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
