A flavorful and creamy pasta dish with a spicy Cajun twist, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Adding a splash of olive oil to the boiling water can prevent the pasta from sticking.
Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk. Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Whisk continuously to prevent the sauce from curdling.
Combine the pasta, Alfredo sauce, and cooked chicken in a mixing bowl. Stir in mozzarella cheese and garnish with parsley.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
