  • 3 TGB Andouille sausages, sliced ½ cm thick
  • 300 g penne or rigatoni pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, to serve

Method

Grilling and sautéing Andouille Sausage Pasta to perfection is simple once you understand the process. Blade-style sausages such as ours develop deeper flavour when lightly browned before being combined with the sauce. By following these steps, you will achieve a creamy, smoky dish worthy of any gourmet kitchen.

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced Andouille sausages and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant. Stir through smoked paprika and chilli flakes.
  4. Pour in diced tomatoes and simmer 5 minutes. Add cream, reduce heat, and stir gently until smooth.
  5. Toss in the cooked pasta with the reserved water, stirring until the sauce coats every piece.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle Parmesan and parsley, and serve immediately.

This Andouille Sausage Recipe creates a silky sauce infused with smoky depth and gentle spice. For variation, add roasted capsicum, spinach, or grilled prawns to turn it into a seasonal showpiece that suits spring and early summer entertaining.

This simple process elevates the humble sausage dish into a vibrant meal full of character. Serve it straight from the pan with crusty bread, or portion it into bowls for an inviting family dinner.


Butcher’s Tip

  • Use TGB Andouille sausages for authentic smoky spice — imported versions are often overly salted.
  • Grill the sausages first before slicing to add a charred finish.
  • Always cook pork sausages to a safe internal temperature of 75 °C.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to lift the flavours.

If you enjoy experimenting, this Andouille Sausage Recipe also works beautifully with our Italian pork sausages or Cajun-style blends, giving you a range of flavour intensities from mild to fiery.
