Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage, sautéing until it's browned and crispy for about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the drained diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and Cajun seasoning. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
