Cheesy, cajun-style farfalle

Tasty tasty and so easy.

Ingredients:

• 1 c. diced onion
• 1 c. diced green or red pepper.
• 1 lb. cajun sausage
• 2 c. farfalle pasta
• fresh ground pepper and pink Himalayan salt to taste. About a teaspoon of each should be enough.

Directions for cheese sauce: make a roux and add grated, sharp cheddar cheese until desired cheesiness is attained. Make your sauce first.

• 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp bacon drippings*
• 1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, grated

*Olive or vegetable oil can be substituted.

1. Make your roux by heating the bacon drippins and then adding the flour, stirring often.
2. Add 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, gradually
3. cover and set aside.

Directions:

Dice 1 c. onion, 1 c. red pepper.

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.

Your pasta water should be boiling now, so add the farfalle and boil until al dente.

When the sausage vegetable mixture is through sauteing, gradually add the pasta and cheese sauce and mix until desired consistency is achieved!

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. ^_^
