Ingredients

• 12 oz bowtie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 lb chicken, cooked and sliced (or shrimp for a twist!)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed, drained)
• 2 Tbsp BANGIN' Ragin' Cajun Spice Blend
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
• Extra Parmesan, for topping

Instructions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook 2–3 minutes.
4. Add Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Ragin' Cajun Spice Blend, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is creamy.
5. Add cooked chicken (or shrimp) and cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in that creamy Cajun goodness.
6. Garnish with green onions and extra Parmesan. Dig in and enjoy every spicy, creamy bite!

Tip: Want it extra creamy? Add 2 oz cream cheese or a splash of whole milk. For more heat, add an extra 1/2 tsp of Ragin' Cajun Spice Blend or a pinch of cayenne!
