Classic cajun spices such as paprika, oregano, thyme, chilli powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic and onion flakes.

The sauce is made with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. These three combined with cajun spices cooked in a super creamy sauce add flavour and textures to the pasta.
creamy Louisiana-style sauce
This pasta sauce is a little different from most creamy sauces. The sauce is made with cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, cream cheese and cajun spices. The cream cheese adds extra creaminess making the sauce rich and delicious.

recipe details
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta al dente or even slightly undercook the pasta. You will cook the pasta for additional three minutes in the sauce. There is nothing worst than overcooked gluten-free pasta…mushy, soft, sticky and unappetizing.
While the pasta is cooking, get a large skillet. I prefer to use a good quality non-stick skillet. It makes everything much easier, and you use less oil or butter.
Briefly cook the veggies; this takes only about three minutes. You want the veggies just to barely starting to soften because you will cook them in the sauce. Set the veggies aside.
Using the same skillet…no need to clean it first. You want the flavours from the veggies to remain in the skillet. Add a splash of olive oil and cook the chicken. The chicken is coated with an egg and a gluten-free parmesan-parsley bread crumb mixture. Again the chicken takes just minutes to cook.
Now that the chicken is cooked, set it aside on a cutting board, or keep it warm in the oven.
next step
Again, using the same skillet without cleaning it first. Return the veggies to the skillet with the sauce ingredients and cook until the sauce starts to thicken.
final step
Toss in the pasta and coat well with the sauce. Serve in bowls, topped with crispy coated parmesan chicken. I like to slice the chicken into strips and add extra parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and red pepper flakes.
What’s amazing about this gluten-free pasta dish is just how quickly and easily it comes together.
