CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA WITH LOW-FAT ALFREDO SAUCE

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta With Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce image

Two recipes from food.com combined into one. (Original version of the Cajun Chicken was delicious, but it was not low fat) Our children don't care for the sun-dried tomatoes, so I normally omit those, although they do add nice color to the dish.
