Cajun Fettuccine image

It's nice to serve this zesty creamy casserole when you want a change from pasta dishes with a tomato sauce. The Cajun flavor really reflects this region of the country.-Jackie Turnage, New Iberia, Louisiana

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was very good. I would make it again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.
