Recipe Reviews
Absolutely delicious! Best chicken pasta I've ever made in my life.
Wow freaking yummy can't wait to make this again for pasta Monday.
This and the cheese panini waffles are really good together, I made a whole bunch of different foods from this website for my sons birthday and loved every single thing.
Add some sundried tomatos for an even better taste, the ones soaked in oil taste amazing with this.
Baked some cheesy garlic bread and had this with white wine for me and my hubby anniversary, we enjoyed it :)
Easy to make but if you don't add a lot of spices taste watered down, or maybe I'm doing something wrong ? :(
Anyone know where to buy cajun seasoning? It's ironically the one thing I didn't have..I live in Lithuania.
Love Italian food but wanted to try out some stuff from home too and have no regrets after eating this cajun pasta.
Delicious ate it cold for lunch at work and it was very filling so glad I made this.
Well done! Verified!
