I actually made this pasta awhile ago and am finally getting around to posting it! I love "throw together" pasta recipes and this is another great one. I love the kick from the sausage, seasoning and pepper jack cheese. Shrimp has also been a household favorite after not eating it for nine month while I was pregnant with Kellen. This recipe is really easy and you could add in whatever veggies you happen to have on hand. If you do not like it spicy I think a smoked sausage would work very nicely, and you can reduce the Cajun seasoning to meet your heat preferences.
Ron, Kellen and I are heading to Key West in a few weeks! I am so excited, but a little nervous traveling with a baby. I think it is going to be a really fun trip, and I can't wait for Kellen to experience warm weather for the first time.
Anyone have any good tips when traveling with a child under 6 months?
