    5 Ingredient Cajun Sausage Alfredo

    I want you to not be spooked by the word Cajun. Or to think that it might be too spicy for any little mouths you might be feeding. While the Cajun sausage does have a bit of a kick to it, the creaminess from the Alfredo sauce really softens it nicely. And at the same time, the spice from the sausage brings out a touch of sweetness in the Alfredo sauce. (Did you know that Alfredo sauce is a bit sweet? You’ll soon find out!)

    This is a fantastically simple meal – perfect for any busy weeknight!
