Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• ½ cup white wine
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

• 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
• ½ pound whole wheat farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
• ½ pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, 12 to 14 minutes; drain.

Step 2

Cook and stir sausage, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a large skillet over medium heat until sausage is heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add white wine and cook until wine hot, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Stir tomato sauce, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and black pepper into sausage mixture until evenly coated; stir in yogurt. Cook sausage mixture until almost bubbling; reduce heat to low and cook until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes more.

Step 4

Mix pasta, parsley, and Parmesan cheese into sausage mixture.
