This pasta is a recipe I came up with one evening after craving pasta all day. I didn't want to go the typical marinara or Alfredo route, so I put stuff together, and this turned out to be one of the best pasta dishes I have ever made.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound of chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 medium tomato, largely diced
1 small package of button mushrooms, sliced
4 stalks of green onion, diced
1/2 a pound of rotini pasta
2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning ( Add more if you like it more spicy, like I do)
3/4 cup of prepared Alfredo sauce
1/3 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
Begin by combining the mushroom and green onion. Cook with a tablespoon of olive oil for two minutes on medium heat. Add the tomato, and cook for a minute more. Season the veggies with salt and veggies. Remove from heat.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Once the pasta is al dente, remove from water and put in a strainer. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil, and add the chicken. Saute for 5 minutes, then add half the cajun seasoning. Cook for another 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium low. Add the alfredo sauce, 1/3 cup of chicken stock, vegetables, and the rest of the cajun seasoning. Stir it all together.
Add the pasta once the sauce has heated up, about 4 minutes. Mix it together, than plate and serve!
