Quick and Easy Spicy Sausage Alfredo

Whew! This has been one hectic week and I have been horrible about keeping this updated! Adam and I have been busy running around from one thing to the next so we haven't had a ton of time to ourselves or to try out anything too terribly new or exciting. 

One of the biggest draw backs of being as busy as we have been is that it doesn't allow for a lot of home cooking time. I don't know about you guys but when I am tired and stressed out the last thing I want to do after work is spend a lot of time in the kitchen (or on the dishes after.) So a lot of times we find ourselves eating out or grabbing something on the go.  Neither is what I would call... healthy or doing any favors for our waist lines. We've been trying to get better about making more time for ourselves and taking better care. We've started a new (butt kicking) workout plan and eating approach. I don't want to call it a diet because that's not really what it is but we certainly are making some changes. Absolutely no fast food and we will cook from home whenever possible.

We started by sitting down together and making a menu for the week. We fit in some new things we were looking forward to trying but haven't made the effort (mole anyone?) and a few favorites (Shoyu Chicken!). We planned around our schedules and even plotted for the  inevitable days that we won't feel up to making a big dinner or a big mess to clean up. Which is how we came up with last nights super tasty super easy pasta:

Quick and Easy Spicy Sausage Alfredo

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 box angel hair pasta
• 1 jar alfredo sauce (if you feel ambitious feel free to make your own sauce. I was tired and Paul Newman did all the work for me.)
  
• 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
• 1 pkg spicy or buffalo chicken sausage
• 1/2 cup cheese (like Italian blend, Parmesan, Mozzarella, etc) plus 1tbs for garnish
  
• pinch of parsley

Start by boiling your pasta according to the directions. Slice your sausage into thin coins:

In a large saucepan mix together your Alfredo, Cajun seasoning, 1/2 cup of cheese, and your sliced sausage. Cook over medium heat until bubbly.

Drain your pasta and toss in your sauce.

Garnish with a pinch of parsley and 1 Tb of cheese. 

Enjoy!
