Instructions:

Prepare Sausage: In a large, preferably cast-iron skillet, brown sausage links on all sides (this makes them easier to slice). Once browned, remove, slice, and return to the pan.
-
Cook Sausage: Cook sliced sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through; then, remove and set aside.
-
Saute Vegetables: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet and sautรฉ garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Stir frequently, adding more butter as needed to keep the mixture from drying out.
-
Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente according to package instructions.
-
Combine Ingredients: When the onions and peppers have softened, add the cooked sausage back into the skillet and heat through.
-
Serve: Drain the pasta and divide it into two plates. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the sausage, onions, and peppers mixture. Serve hot and enjoy your State Fair Pasta!
