PASTA MACQUE CHOUX

2 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup tasso ham

1/3 cup andouille or smoked sausage

1 cup cooked corn

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

1/4 cup chopped celery

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1 pint heavy cream

4 oz tomato sauce

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh basil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

2 teaspoons oregano or 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 chopped green onion

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Cooked pasta- I just dump the whole small package into the pasta pot

Heat butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat.

Add tasso ham and sausage and brown lightly.

Add corn, onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Saute lightly for 2 minutes.

Add Cajun seasoning, heavy cream,tomato sauce, basil, thyme and oregano. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until cream reduces and starts to thicken. Be careful not to reduce too much because sauce could break.  Stir in green onion and parsley.

Serve over cooked pasta.
