Note you can use any type of sausage for this recipe, however the andouille has Cajun spices to it and make it extra special if you ask me. Don’t like spice, use Italian sausage instead.

THE BEST CHEESE FOR CAJUN FOOD

You want to use a sharp cheddar or a Parmesan cheese for a bolder taste. And if you want a more mild flavor, you could try a Gruyere or a Swiss.

Gemelli which helps soak up all the flavors or you can also try a macaroni or even pappardelle pasta.
