½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
14 ounces smoked sausage, sliced on the diagonal
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
2 cups dried penne pasta
1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning, plus more to taste
