Cajun Butter Pasta
A delicious Cajun Butter Pasta that is made with fettuccini, asparagus, garlic, parmesan cheese, white wine and cherry tomatoes tossed with just enough Cajun seasoned cream sauce. You can substitute chicken broth for the wine and any other vegetable for the asparagus if you want. Feel free to increase the Cajun seasoning if you like it spicy. This recipe is very versatile and very good!
This is another recipe from a cooking class that I attended. Sharing all these delicious recipes from the classes has been fun. I signed up for 5 classes that are 3 hours long each. I still have 2 remaining classes. We made 5 recipes in each of the first three classes. I will not be posting every recipe because if you follow me regularly you know I only post recipes that I think are amazing.
Ingredients – Although the recipe calls
for white wine, the chef only had access
to red wine so we used that. You can
substitute chicken broth for the wine too.
Cook the pasta according to the package
directions, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat,
melt the butter. Sauté the onion
and asparagus for 3 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic and toss.
Add the wine (or chicken broth) and toss.
Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Slowly add the heavy whipping
cream stirring until hot.
Stir in the parmesan cheese.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt,
pepper, lemon juice, oregano and stir.
Add the pasta, tossing until hot then serve.

Thank you so much!
NOLA Boy is definitely drooling over this one! I make variations of this all the time. So easy – and so satisfying. Can be made oriental-like so easily, too. Love to use bok choy!
Virtual hugs,
Judie
Oh yes you can do so many variations with this one. I bet the oriental version is fabulous!
Would eat that in a heartbeat!
I love that it is meatless yet you could throw in some shrimp and have an entirely different meal. Thanks for your comment!
Looks amazing !

This sounds really good. I will definitely have to try it. I can already see my sister picking out any stray tomato that I missed.
Oh, yummy! Thank you for sharing, Diane! This looks so yummy. I was searching for a dish like this! I will definitely have to try this. Thank you for sharing!
Pasta sounds sooo good and a Cajun version?! That must be sinfully tasty!
I was surprised to find you tried so many recipes for each class … five is a lot in three hours.
oh heck yeah. add some shrimp in and it would be perfect!
Minus the tomatoes and asparagus though.
Shrimp is a vegetable right? hahahaha
This is my kind of dish. Ibrings out the flavours because it is kept so simple and it looks good. Definitely coming to your place or I will cook this and you can come to me. Might take you a while😂
Sounds like a great vacation! lol Thank you Barb!
That should have been “it brings”. I need to clean my glasses. lol
Lol I can relate!
hmmm. looks good. I tried a modified version in the summer. without the wine and asparagus….thinner pasta…it was one of my good efforts in the kitchen. The cat did not run away when I had her do the look through, so I know it would be yummy for me….vw
