Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 160 grams Penne Pasta
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- Several leaves of Sage
- 1 tbsp Cajun spices
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Boil a pot of salted water. Cook Penne until al dente. This step takes 8 to 9 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water before draining.
- Make the base of the sauce: In a skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Add the sage leaves and brown until crispy. Add Cajun spice to melted butter and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stirring until fragrant. Add the heavy cream. Pour the pasta water into the skillet alongside the butter and spices. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle bubble. Stirring occasionally.
- Add the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to a skillet with creamy sauce. Toss the pasta into the sauce and mix until coated. Allow the pasta to simmer in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir for it to soak up the flavours. Garnish with a few sage leaves. Add a sprinkle of your favourite cheese.
