Ingredients

6 ounces uncooked fettuccine
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 cup each julienned sweet red, yellow and green pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound fully cooked andouille sausage, sliced
1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups chopped tomatoes

Directions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion, celery, peppers, green onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in the cream, wine, Creole seasoning, salt, pepper flakes and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 5-6 minutes.
In another large skillet, saute sausage and shrimp in remaining butter over medium heat until shrimp turn pink, 5-6 minutes. Drain fettuccine; toss with vegetable mixture, tomatoes and sausage mixture.

Creole Seasoning

If you don’t have Creole seasoning in your cupboard, you can make your own using 1/4 tsp. each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.
