If you love a classic Alfredo pasta,
I was verrrrrry happy with this dish when I made it! So excited, in fact, that I decided to push the other recipe I had planned for posting in favour of this one 😍
I don’t LOVE creamy pasta dishes usually, but the cajun spice adds enough of a kick to lift it from the depths of uber creaminess and into the heights of damnnn this is good!
