Ingredients

1 package (13.5 ounces) Johnsonville Andouille Smoked Rope Sausage, cut into coins
8 ounces dry linguine pasta
3 tablespoons butter
1 small red onion, diced
1 medium red pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions (reserve one cup of the cooking liquid), drain, set aside and keep warm.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sausage, onions and peppers. Cook and stir until sausage is brown and vegetables are tender; about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook and stir until fragrant; about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream and seasoning.
Add pasta and tomatoes; toss to coat evenly. Heat for 2 minutes or until tomatoes begin to soften. If sauce is too thick, gradually stir in some reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
