Rotini with Spicy Andouille Sauce

Recipe #85787 | 1¼ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

By: EdsGirlAngie

I created this to celebrate my bit of Cajun heritage on Mardi Gras 2004 (many of my father's family lived near Lake Charles, Louisiana)! If you're not into hot and spicy andouille sausage, any smoked sausage can be substituted, but try to use rotini or any other similar pasta (penne, rigatoni or mostaciolli works well, too.)

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Brown sausage well in a large saucepan.
  2. 2
    Drain off fat, then add onions and garlic and cook over lower heat until transparent but not browned.
  3. 3
    Add crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke, Tabasco sauce, oregano, thyme and chili powder; combine thoroughly and simmer together for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4
    Serve with rotini.

Wow, this was unusual, but we just loved it. Instead of the tabasco, I threw in one teaspoon of Cajun seasoning blend, and added 2 carrots to the veggies. It was easy, flavorful, and delicious. I loved the tangy, tart flavors. Thank you!

    Fantastic! Didn't have thyme, but everything else was on hand and it was delectable. Spicy, but worthwhile!

    i'm giving this 3 stars just because i think i may have messed it up by using jalepeno pepper sausage. it was a bit too tomato-y for my taste, but it was pretty good. i will definitely give it another shot. chalk this one up to operator error!

    Very delicious! It had a zesty, mildly spicy sauce that went great over the pasta (I used bow ties in mine). Very simple to make and great for an easy weeknight dinner. Thanks for posting!
