Thinly slice 1 pound cajun sausage (halve the slices.)
Heat 2
tsp bacon drippings in large saucepan. You'll be mixing everything in this
later.
Now, boil the water for pasta.
Saute
onion for 4 minutes on medium heat then add bell pepper and cook
until tender.
Add
sausage last and cook on medium heat for another 8-10 minutes.

When
the sausage vegetable mixture is through sauteing, gradually add the

Sooooo
goooood. This was supposed to be a quick snack to start with, but
turned into a very tasty cajun-style pasta that can be enjoyed for
lunch or dinner. Anthony actually gets excited about it now. It
definitely deserves four of five stars.
I am so happy now that I've added this to my blog. ^_^ |
