Notes

Stir some parmesan cheese into the pasta for extra creaminess.
If the sauce is too thick then you can add stir in a little half and half or extra chicken stock.
The pasta is flavorful and mildly spicy. If you want more spice, add more Cajun seasoning. If you want it milder, add less and/or use diced tomatoes without chiles.
