Method
Pasta Preparation
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and penne pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Voodoo Sauce Preparation
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add diced red and green bell peppers and chopped onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are soft.
Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add Cajun seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Incorporate Cream and Herbs
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh parsley. Allow the sauce to heat through for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Protein Preparation (Optional)
Cook the Protein
If using shrimp and sausage, add them to the skillet with the sauce after incorporating cream. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until shrimp is pink and opaque, and sausage is heated through.
