Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Drain.

Meanwhile, combine the olive oil & sausage in a large skillet over high heat & cook, stirring, until the sausage starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the scallions & bell pepper & cook until the veggies are slightly soft, about 3 more minutes. Add the Cajun spice & flour, cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk & continue whisking until the sauce is thick & smooth, about 5 minutes.

Add the pasta, cheese & reserved cooking water to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low & cook, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce & melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
