To make this dish, I started by cooking some rotini noodles according to the directions on the package. 

Then I drained the pasta and set it aside.

I cut some boneless skinless chicken breasts into cubes.

 

I placed the chicken breast cubes in a bowl.

I sprinkled Cajun seasoning on top.

I tossed the chicken breast chunks until they were all coated in the seasoning.

Then I heated some oil in a large skillet.

I added the chicken breast chunks to the skillet.

I stirred the chicken breast chunks around and cooked them until they were browned on both sides.

Then I added some sliced smoked sausage to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking until the sausage started to brown slightly.

Then I added some butter and minced garlic to the skillet.

I stirred until the butter was melted and the garlic was fragrant.

I added some heavy cream, salt and pepper to the skillet.

I stirred well and brought the liquid to a simmer.

I left the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickened.

Then I added the cooked rotini noodles to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the noodles were well coated in sauce.

I removed the skillet from the heat.

I added some shredded parmesan cheese to the skillet.

I stirred just until the cheese was melted.

I sprinkled some chopped parsley on top of the pasta.

Then the chicken alfredo with sausage was ready to serve.
