Looking for something different from your typical alfredo or tomato sauce pasta? Well, look no further! I have a recipe that is sure to add a little variety to your traditional pasta recipe. If you’re looking for more of traditional alfredo pasta, I have linked one here. This pasta recipe was a big hit with my husband and son, and I am here to share this easy and delicious recipe with you.
The Ingredients List Includes:
- 2 packs of fettuccine or linguine noodles
- 1 bag of medium shrimp
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cans of Alfredo sauce
- 2 cans of crushed tomatoes
- 1 package of Andouille sausage
- Bell peppers
- Spinach (optional)
- Celery
- Minced Garlic
- Olive oil
- Tony Chachere’s
- Zatarains Blackened Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Shredded parmesan
Prep:
Remove tails and shells from shrimp, you are welcome to keep them on if you would prefer. Cut up 1/4 of a yellow onion, 3 small bell peppers. and 3 stalks of celery. You can also buy this already diced. Also cut up sausage links into smaller pieces. Season shrimp with blackened seasoning, minced garlic, black pepper, Tony Chachere’s and paprika for extra spice. Once seasoned, it will look something like this.
Place, olive oil in a skillet and let shrimp cook until they have a pale to light pink color. Also, place a large pot with water on the stove to boil noodles. Once shrimp are done, remove them and place sausage pieces in the skillet using the remaining liquid from the shrimp.
Let sausage cook until browned. I prefer mine to have a crisp to them, to obtain this just cook longer. Once cooked to your desired preference, remove and place bell peppers, yellow onion, and celery in skillet.
Cook until soft. Once soft, add 1 can of crushed tomatoes to skillet. Then add 1 can of the Alfredo sauce. Mix together. Add the second can of crushed tomatoes. Your mixture will look something like this. This is why it is called pink pasta, due to its color. At this point you can also add shredded parmesan to your sauce as well.
Add shrimp and sausage to sauce mixture and let simmer for 7-10 minutes. Add noodles to sauce and mix well. Top with blackened seasoning and parmesan and enjoy your pink pasta.
Bon Apetit!

I’m definitely going to try this recipe out. We love pasta in our household!
We do too, even though Im trying to avoid it more often.
Trying! This looks so delicious!
Thank you Lacey!
I might actually be able to get my picky eater to try this if I tell her it’s ‘pink’ pasta. Looks yummy!
She would also love to help you make it too!
Oh yum! I’d have to do it without the shrimp due to allergies. Do you think this recipe would be good without it or do you think there is a good substitute for the shrimp?
I think it would still be great without shrimp. I would add chicken as a substitute but if not go without.
I would love to try this recipe, it looks so yumm!
It is yummy and different than what I’m used to in pasta.
This looks good, it’s not italian though, I’ve never seen or heard of it here. But the combo of flavours looks so interesting I’ll definitely give it a go
Yes it’s definitely not your traditional pasta, but that’s what makes it fun.
Pasta is the kids favorite meal!! I definitely will be trying this!
Hope that they love it!
This recipe looks so yummy! I have been obsessed with anything that has a cajun spice. Also, love the combination of shrimp and sausage.
I am a big fan of cajun spice as well!
This recipe looks delicious Caressa! I’m excited to try it for my hubby and daughter since they love shrimp despite the fact that I’m allergic to shellfish! Thanks for sharing
Awww man, you also can switch out the shrimp for chicken.
This sounds amazing and I love the shrimp and sausage combo! Cajun dishes are so delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for visiting!
This looks ymmy. At first I was like “pink pasta” but as I read I got hungrier by the minute and plan on adding to our menu very soon.
I don’t think I’ve ever had pink pasta, but that’s about to change!
Very promising! I love pasta! Would try this one someday!
I’ll tell you a little secret, being Italian, we don’t make pasta with sausage xD But with minced meat yes and with a preparation similar to that made by you … it’s called ragù!
PS = and no shrimp! We make pasta mare e monti but it’s shrimp and mushrooms!
This looks amazing we love anything with shrimp and sausage!
This looks like something my husband would absolutely love!
This sounds so good! I’m going to try to make a dairy free version. That pink sauce is like the best of both worlds.
