Easy Cajun Chicken Pasta

[@alanhirschman1320]

My only comment on technique: Prepare the sauce and chicken while the pasta is cooking. Cook for about 2 minutes less than the package instructions for "al dente". Reserve the pasta water. Then, rather than draining the pasta and letting it dry out and cool, add it directly into your sauce and allow it to finish cooking in the pan. The reserved pasta water can be added if things look a little dry and to make the sauce even silkier and smoother.

[@Shazzzz807]

This is actually true and a great tip!

[@Salma-yo6ns]

Yes I learned to always add a little bit of pasta water to your sauce because the starch makes everything come together. That pasta water is like GOLD flavor wise!

I just made this for my Family tonight and I had to come back to let you know how incredible it was. My Husband is not a pasta lover but told me this is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever made. Thanks sooo much!

[@LadieKadie]

I’m making it tonight. So you know why he reserved the pasta water and what to do with it?

[@milonix9101]

@@LadieKadie- I added mine to the sauce. How did yours turn out?

Pasta is easily one of the best and most versatile foods on the planet. Can't wait to try this recipe!

[@sharonroberts7008]

I made this for dinner tonight and it as delicious. I did add one sliced onion along with the pepper. Would recommend everyone gives it a try.

[@edg1226]

I had frozen peppers n onion and used that instead.. still amazing at the end. Also cheese stuffed tortellini vs pasta

[@glendaharding4884]

Wow, this comes together fast and easy! Looks absolutely delicious!!

[@elijahheyes9061]

Mmmmm. Terrific as always John. Looking forward to fixing this one for sure.

Hello from San Francisco Bay Area. I am making this dish tomorrow night! Love this channel and how you get right to it, with little tidbits of wisdom thrown in.❤❤❤

[@heidid5275]

I made this meal last night but without Cajun seasoning. It was more of an Alfredo sauce. Sooo good! Love this……

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

This is perfection in a bowl, John! Love it!

[@Vandelay666]

There is a known rule: Sauce should always wait for the pasta, not the other way around

[@pick2206]

dos that mean we make the sauce first???? expain

[@Vandelay666]

@@pick2206 Yes. put the pasta in the water when the sauce is almost ready

I made this two nights ago and wanted to thank you for sharing the recipe. I will be making this dish again. My family and I think you have an amazing palate. We are yet to dislike any of your recipes both savoury and sweet. Another favourite in our household is your lemon cheesecake topped with lemon curd 😄

Saw this a couple of days ago. I didn’t have all the ingredients but this inspired me to create my own pasta dish with what I did have and it was delicious! Thanks for all the great recipes, cooking tips and inspirations!

This looks awesome! The only thing I would do differently is peel the tomatoes because tomato skins are nasty. My garden is producing tons of tomatoes and peppers right now so this would be great!

What do we do with the reserved 1/4 cup of pasta water?

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

You’re meant to add it to the sauce to thicken it a little. I think he forgot.
