ADVERTISEMENT

Serving: This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth to revive the sauce.

Variations:
Swap the Protein: Try ground turkey, Italian sausage, or even shrimp instead of beef for a different twist.

Add Veggies: Stir in some baby spinach or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.

Make it Cheesier: Sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella over the top and broil for a melty finish.

FAQ:
Can I use a different pasta shape?
Yes! Penne, fusilli, or even fettuccine will work great in this recipe.

Is there a substitute for heavy cream?
You can use half-and-half for a lighter version, though the sauce will be a little thinner.

Can I make it less spicy?
Absolutely—just cut the Cajun seasoning in half and skip the red pepper flakes for a milder flavor.
