PASTA WITH CREAMY CAJUN SAUCE



Pasta With Creamy Cajun Sauce image

I found this recipe on steamykitchen.com. It has a lot of cream, but it is so worth it! This recipe has two different reductions, which makes the sauce have more concentrated flavors and evaporates the liquid. It was very good, and definitely a comfort food! (The preparation and cooking time is probably off a little because I made it a while ago and can't really remember how long it took.)

CAJUN SEAFOOD PASTA



Cajun Seafood Pasta image

This recipe is a hot one, but delicious! If you are weak of tongue, then divide the amounts of peppers in half. Better to add more than spoil your creation! Bay scallops are preferred, but the larger sea scallops can be used if they are cut in half. This dish can also be placed in a casserole dish and placed under the broiler until top turns golden brown!
