Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 ounces smoked sausage, (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, ((or more to your tastes))
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 can (15 ounces) corn, (drained)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, (freshly grated)
  • 16 ounces Gemelli pasta, (or any pasta of your choice, cooked al dente)
  • fresh parsley, (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. I recommend al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, add sliced sausage in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set on a plate.
  • In the same pan (do not drain), add flour and whisk, scraping up the brown bits from the pan, until a paste forms and the mixture starts to brown.
  • Slowly add in the milk. Whisk continuously until the mixture starts to thicken (about 5 minutes).
  • Add in the broth, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder. Bring to a light simmer.
  • Add in the corn and the parmesan cheese. Stir and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and sausage back into the pan, mixing everything together.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and more parmesan cheese.
