Cajun Pasta Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Cooking the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sautéing Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Adding Garlic and Seasoning

Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Creating the Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Combining Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the Cajun cream sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

6. Seasoning

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

7. Serving

Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
