Creating Spicy Cajun Pasta with Sausage is straightforward when you follow these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the oil in the skillet.
3. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Tomatoes and Cream: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and heavy cream. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
5. Season: Add Cajun seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine the flavors.
6. Return the Sausage: Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Let simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Combine Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

This step-by-step approach ensures your dish is ready to enjoy without any hassle. Each step is designed to maximize flavor while minimizing effort.
