I have been on a Cajun seasoning kick recently, so I decided to create this super delicious creamy cajun pasta!
I’ve had cajun seasoning on my spice rack for almost a year, and I’ve rarely touched it. No real reason why, but I just never had a recipe that called for it. That was until now. The other day I made some pasta (shocker) and I wanted to switch it up a little. I usually add the Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Company seasoning to my pasta but I was craving something different. I looked at my cajun seasoning and I thought “this could work.” I threw a little on and tasted it. I then proceeded to add more and more and I was in heaven!
I decided I wanted to make a fancier recipe so that is when this delicious creamy sauce came was born.
If you like the flavor of cajun seasoning but are not the biggest spice fan, you can adjust the cajun seasoning. You can even add more if you’d like! It’s all about personal preference.
To make this sauce a bit more decadent, I’ve also added some vegan mozzarella. I love Daiya but you can add whatever cheeze you’d like!
You can easily find cajun seasoning in the spice section of your grocery store.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe! If you make it, don’t forget to tag me in the photo @plantbasedjane
