Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken and Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips. In the same skillet, add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers and minced garlic, sautéing until the peppers are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the sliced chicken and cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the cooked rigatoni, cream, and cajun pesto. Toss to combine and heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese.
