"This is a recipe from Commander's Palace in New Orleans, from back when Emeril Lagasse was the chef there. It combines the elements of Creole and Cajun cooking together. Try to find Andouille Sausage because of it's unique taste, but if you can't find it another good quality spicy smoked pork sausage can be substituted. I often use Conecuh Smoked Sausage when serving this to people that say they don't like Andouille. Serve this over angel hair pasta with a chilled light red wine."
