Cajun Alfredo Sauce Matt Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter.
• Add garlic.
• Saute till you smell the garlic.
• Add cream.
• Hard simmer for 20 - 30 or until desired consistency.
• Add cheese and Cajun seasoning.
• Cook until melted.
• Pour over favorite pasta.

Steps:

• Heat the cream in a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium-low heat, make sure the pan is big enough to hold the pasta you will be adding the sauce to.
• When the cream just begins to bubble, add the cajun seasoning and stir.
• When the cream begins to bubble again add the butter and stir it in as it melts, whisk or stir until the butter is incorporated.
• Bring the mixture just to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and add the cheese a little at a time, stirring as you add it.
• When all the cheese is incorporated, strain your pasta and add immediately to the sauce and stir to coat the noodles.
• Serve quickly.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the remaining water.
• Combine flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and add to the bowl, tossing to coat.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp into the skillet once the butter bubbles and cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean bowl. Add garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits.
• Whisk in remaining flour-Cajun seasoning slowly until well incorporated. Season with white pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cream; cook for 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese slowly, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 minutes more. Return shrimp to the skillet and add pasta; toss to combine.
• Mix in a little of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:

• Chop onions and green peppers into very small chunks.
• Sautee onions and peppers in butter until tender but still somewhat crisp.
• While onions and peppers are cooking, dump the BBQ sauce and cayenne pepper into a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Drain onions and peppers, and mix them in with the other ingredients.
• Refrigerate in a sealed container for at least two hours to allow the cayenne pepper permeate the sauce. The longer, the better. I typically leave it to steep overnight.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
• Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly from the boiling water into the cream sauce using tongs or a pasta fork. Sprinkle the pasta with the Parmesan and toss to combine. Add a splash of the starchy pasta water to help the sauce thicken and coat the pasta. Top with chopped parsley and serve with additional Parmesan.

Steps:

• Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
• Saute sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Add cream and Cajun seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 3-4 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese. Add pasta to sauce and toss.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all spices for the cajun seasoning and mix together. Set aside. Store any extra in an airtight container for future use.
• In a heavy bottom pot (such as a Dutch oven), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the sliced chicken and 2½ tablespoons of the prepared cajun seasoning.
• Add the andouille sausage and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the pot and add the remaining olive oil.
• Add the garlic, diced peppers and onions and cook until the onions are transparent and softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the milk and stir so that the seasoning is incorporated into the liquid.
• Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Add the uncooked fettuccine, stirring constantly until the noodles are al dente, about 10 minutes.
• On low heat, add the meat back in and stir so that it's evenly incorporated.
• Add the cheese and parsley, and stir. Remove from the heat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, covered cooking pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add sausage to the pot and continue to cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Stir in garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, pasta, and Cajun seasoning. Stir together and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook until pasta is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Stir in chopped parsley and sprinkle with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
