Hillshire Farm Sausage Alfredo Recipe

This recipe has been added to our regular rotation. It's the first time I've added Cajun seasoning to a dish and we LOVE it! That, with the sausage, makes for an amazing flavor combination. I do add the peas for color and because they go so well with the dish. I usually do just 1 cup of heavy cream, and then 1 cup of half & half or milk, to cut calories (though I've read that half & half can become lumpy if overheated, I've never had that issue...yet). Do try this easy dinner tonight!**Update 12/14** I just realized that the recipe above does not list peas as an optional ingredient. On the Hilshire Farms website, where I originally discovered this recipe, it mentions adding a cup of frozen peas to the pasta during the last minute of boiling. And, as I said before, it is good with the peas!

I couldn't quite find the recipe I was looking for, but thought this one had promise to use as a base recipe for the ingredients I wanted to use. I added a small amount of oil (less than 1 Tbsp) to the skillet and put in a chopped pepper along with the sausage slices so those could cook together. After those were ready I turned the heat down and added broccoli, put on the lid and let it heat (I used frozen because I didn't have time to use the fresh I had on hand - either one would work.) Instead of just plain pasta, I used 1 1/2 containers of cheese tortellini that I cooked separately. After the broccoli was heated. I added the tortellini to the skillet. I made the sauce as stated and added that to the skillet with all the other ingredients and mixed it well. My family and I really enjoyed it.

Added thinly sliced green pepper. used 1% milk mixed w/flour and 3 tbsp butter instead of heavey cream. Turned out beautiful and delish!

The picky little ones loved it, so it's definitely a keeper. I added in a bit of onion, garlic, and thyme while I was browning the sausage. I used bowtie pasta and added in some broccoli for a bit of color. It was delicious, and now I'm wondering how it'll taste with a bit of bacon added.

We love this! I add in 2 red bell peppers, sauteed in olive oil to soften them up. Then I add some cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

I modify the sauce... First I cook minced garlic with a little butter on med heat. Then add the cream, cajun seasoning, parsley flakes and cook for about 5 min. And then I mix it all up in a pot with the already cooked pasta and the already browned sausage. 6 out of 6 people in the family LOVE it. I also add shrimp to it if I have it.

I added broccoli. And boiled pasta with minced garlic. Soooo good and easy dinner after work. Thank you.

I wanted to do something different with this. Used a beef sausage and used whole milk instead of heavy cream. I browned meat, added flour to the grease and let it thicken. I put the milk and Cajun seasoning in and let it cook and combine. I let it cool some then added about a cup of fire roasted tomatoes and a tablespoon of tomato paste (the cooling was to prevent curdling). I added shredded parmesan and it was delicious!

I saute chopped bell peppers and onions with the sausage and when ready for serving I stir in chopped tomatoes. my coworkers requests this dish at every pot luck.

This was fantastic. I did change up a few things. I added fresh onions and peppers to the pan before cooking the sausage. I also put this all to the side before I made the sauce in the pan. In addition to the cream I added half a cup of milk. It was a huge hit with the whole family. This will definitely be added to the request list!

My family loves this! I actually made a little more pasta and added cut fresh asparagus to the pasta when it was boiling. I also added a little more parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce a bit more. Delish! Will definitely be making this again!

So easy and so delicious.

Sauce takes a while to thicken but overall great. Will make again

Very good and easy. Bookmarked to keep. Made as is, just doubled all ingredients.👍

Even my dog seemed interested in the smell.

This is really tasty! Our family loves it. It is a little spicy for me, so I used a little less cajun seasoning. Depending on which brand cream I use, sometimes I have to thicken the sauce a bit with cornstarch or cream cheese. It is a recipe I go back to again and again. Its easy and delicious!

Good but tons of fat

This is one of my son's GO TO requests when he comes home from college. It takes a little longer than the time given if you want the sausage browned perfectly, but otherwise delicious. Definitely add the peas for color, veggie power, and taste! We love this!

I can’t give 5 stars yet. I want to try it again and NOT do a couple tweaks that I did. I used cheese tortellini, and I added some cream cheese because it wasn’t thickening up. Finally, I used too much Parmesan, which made it salty and a bit sour. It was edible, but not great. I believe this is a good recipe though, and I am the problem. I will try again and modify my review when I do it right.

Have made this numerous times, with and without the peas. Great either way! Leftovers are too greasy for me though.
