Ingredients

8 oz uncooked fettuccine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 medium red or green bell peppers, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 package (14 oz) smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz)

Steps:

In 5-quart Dutch oven, cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package. Return to Dutch oven; cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, bell peppers and garlic in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add sausage; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender.
Stir tomatoes and Cajun seasoning into sausage mixture. Stir in whipping cream; cook uncovered 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mixture is thickened.
Add sausage mixture to fettuccine in Dutch oven; toss to combine. Sprinkle with cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
