I absolutely LOVE one pot wonders that come together with minimal effort AND minimal cleanup! Â This One Pan Cajun Andouille Sausage and Pasta will be your new go-to dinner in a hurry, and yes,it’s all prepared in ONE PAN.

I understand those hectic days and needing dinner in a hurry. Â This week has been ONE OF THOSE WEEKS to say the least and I was so excited to have an opportunity to come up with something easy, delicious and with little cleanup.
This quick, easy and satisfying meal is always so much appreciated!
The pasta cooks right in the pan in chicken broth, heavy cream (or milk) and the juices from the canned diced tomatoes and green chiles. Â You can use whatever pasta you like; I used rotini because I had it in my cabinet and it needed to be used.
This recipe is a little on the spicy side, but not overwhelming at all. Â You can reduce the heat by using canned diced tomatoes without chiles (but I loved the extra kick!).
Enjoy!

This was delicious. I used regular diced tomatoes, ziti noodles and doubled the cheese. It was a hit!

My family really enjoyed this meal and it came together quickly. However, for a family of four (with two teenagers) it was not enough food. Next time I make this, I will double the recipe and maybe add frozen peas the last few minutes!
Yum! This recipe is a winner.
I added cream last 5 minutes and also dumped in some leftover green beans for a
‘one & done’ meal. Would be good with other frozen green veggies added last 10 or so minutes.

I used hot Rotel and added frozen shrimp the last 10min. Serve with crusty bread. Amazing!!!
★★★★★
I used fire roasted rotel and it put the dish over the top. I will definitely do this dish again
★★★★★
That sounds delicious, Mark – so glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
I added crab meat and it was amazing.

Super easy and delicious! I love one pot meals and my Family loves this recipe. Win-Win!

This was excellent. I used no added salt as broth was from bullion and no pepper as my sausage was pretty spicy already

This was a hit! I’m not generally a huge andouille fan, but I had some and needed to use it up. My husband loved it and it’s going in the rotation, for sure. I stayed pretty true to the recipe, except I didnt have onions, added a dash of cajun seasoning, doubled the cheese, and used wide egg noodles instead of rotini. It did turn out quite a bit more soupy than the photo, so I may reduce the chicken broth next time.
