Steps:
- Heat the oil in large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, 1 minute.
- Add the pasta, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream cheese and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Stir until the cream cheese is combined and melted. Don't worry if the sauce looks runny, it will thicken as it sits. Top with sliced scallions.

Steps:
- Cook the linguine in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, heat the butter, then add 1½ tablespoon cajun seasoning and mix the spice with the butter. Add in shrimp.

Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add in kielbasa sausage and cook for another minute, then add minced garlic, salt, cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, and dried thyme.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful Cajun spices, and a creamy, flavorful sauce will make all the difference in the final dish.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: If you like your food mild, use less cayenne pepper. If you like it spicy, add more. Just be sure to taste the sauce as you go and adjust it to your liking.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that it should be tender but still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold up better in the sauce.
- Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful: Use a combination of heavy cream, milk, and cream cheese to create a rich, flavorful sauce. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a small pan, cook the pasta and vegetables in batches. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking together and the vegetables from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
This Easy One-Pot Cajun Pasta Recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. With its creamy, flavorful sauce, tender pasta, and spicy Cajun seasoning, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
