Pasta has to be one of the most versatile things to cook with in the kitchen. There are so many different dishes that you can create.
This recipe came about when I really fancied some kind of creamy pasta, but also felt like creating something new.
I normally go for a plain garlic and herb and after looking through the spice rack I found some Cajun flavouring.
This dish is super rich tasting but still low in syns. The syns are totally worth it for the creaminess but can be made syn free by swapping cream cheese for fat free fromage frais or quark.
You may notice something a little 'funny' with these pasta shapes...if you spot it, let me know in the comments!
