I bookmarked this recipe as soon as I saw it in my inbox last week. It’s from allrecipes. I was immediately sold on the flavors as well as the fact that the total time is half an hour. We are in the last week of tennis season for Emery so I am still in need of all the quick and easy dinner recipes. Here’s the synopsis from allrecipes:
Even if you don’t have a lot of time to spend getting dinner together, you can still charm your family with this clever voodoo pasta. In less time than it takes the fusilli to cook, you can conjure up a spicy Alfredo sauce with blackened smoked sausage. When the pasta is done, just toss it with the sauce. It’s pure magic.
Voodoo Pasta (not my photo…we scarfed it down too quickly)
I’ll link here and post below: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/216087/voodoo-pasta/
- 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked fusilli pasta
- 1 (16 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage
- 1 teaspoon blackened or Cajun seasoning
- 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- While pasta is cooking, cut sausage into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with seasoning; toss lightly to evenly coat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add sausage; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in Alfredo sauce, parsley, and hot sauce to taste; heat through.
- Pour sauce over pasta and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
Substitutes:
Beef smoked sausage, lite smoked sausage, or turkey smoked sausage.
I used turkey sausage because that’s what I had on hand. The Alfredo sauce really cuts the heat, so don’t be afraid to use a heavy hand when seasoning.

Enjoy!
