• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1 1/2 cup cut okra
• 1 small zucchini, cut into 1 inch slices

2. Add sausage, stir. Let it start to brown a bit.
3. Add garlic and peppers. Stir until fragrant.
4. Add zucchini and okra to pot.

7. Add pasta to boiling water. Cook 10 minutes.
8. Add cajun seasoning and heavy cream to pasta pot. Stir to combine. Bring back to boil. Let sauce reduce.
