From DetroitTokyo 12 years agoIngredients

How to make it
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain pasta.
- Meanwhile, add olive oil to large skillet or medium saucepan - large enough to house all ingredients eventually - over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown.
- Add celery and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Add scallions and cook an additional minute.
- Add Cajun seasoning and flour. Cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Add pasta and cheese and some cooking water, about 1/4 cup at a time until desired consistency is met. I used 1/2 cup.
