Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

I used turkey smoked sausage instead of chicken so no salt needed.

Great recipe! I love how fast you can make this dish. I did use chicken sausage because I saw previous reviews thought that would be better and it turned out great!

Really good I forgot to buy the bacon... so made it without and it was really very good. I had chilli penne on hand so I used that instead. It was very tasty! Enjoyable weeknight meal! Great spice! Will likely make it again. Pros: Very quick and easy

Very yummy and easy Very delicious recipe but I found it too spicy for my family. We aren't spice wimps either!! Everyone loved the taste of it but found it to have too much kick to eat. I will make it again but will adjust the seasoning. Husband loved it but even he said it was too spicy to eat more than a little. Pros: Quick, Easy, Tasty Cons: Too spicy

It's a Keeper! I used the recipe for Cajun spice that fsienkiewicz posted earlier, and this turned out GREAT. My boyfriend, who really likes spicy food, loved it. I just barely finished my bowl, but it was awesome! Used Publix brand hot organic chicken sausage instead of the chicken, and added an extra teaspoon of Cajun spice. Pros: Easy to make, healthy

Just an okay dish This did not bowl me over. I should have used a stronger spice. Added some mushrooms to the leftovers. This cut down on the overpowering tomato flavor. Not sure, if I'll make again. Pros: Too heavy on tomatoes Cons: Very easy to prepare.

Delicious This dish is pretty easy to make, and the peppers and onions add a "soft" crunch to the pasta.

Too Hot... I had to throw this out. It was just too hot for me and my husband. I used Tony Chachere's spice, and I only put in a little over a tablespoon. When we sat down to eat, we had to add more sour cream to it, and I even added milk to the pan after it had set for a while, and it was still too hot. It broke my heart to have to throw it out, but I didn't know what else to do. Pros: Quick and easy to put-together Cons: Too hot...!

Excellent easy to make meal I made this tonite - substituted diced tomatoes for crushed, used one of the omega-3 rotinis instead of whole wheat (omg, I hate whole wheat pasta), and used homemade cajun spice from this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cajun-Spice-Mix-2/Detail.aspx The cajun spice you use is key to the flavor - be sure to choose one with plenty of oompf as there is a lot of tomato in the sauce, and I think the sour cream dulls the heat a bit too. This is a keeper and I would definitely make it again and recommend it to friends. Pros: Healthy, easy to make

Very tasty! This was really good. I used part chicken breast and part chicken sausage. Also used fat-free sour cream and added some crushed red pepper to up the heat. Served with garlic bread and steamed kale. Really good, super easy (practically a one-pot meal) and got rave reviews from the roommates! Would definitely make this again.

It's a keeper! This was a good recipe. We added mushrooms, red pepper instead of green, and a pablano pepper to add more veggie content. We also used linguine instead of the cork screw pasta. The extra veggies really made this dish! I highly recommend adding them. I'd also recommend adding a bit of salt to the chicken. Overall good dish!

Loved it!Made this for the first time tonight. The name reminded me of my husband's fav dish at a well-known restaurant chain. I had printed it out awhile ago and just came across it today and was excited to try it. I loved it. I thought the flavors worked well together and I'm all about sneaking in some veggies undetected. Next time though, I will cut back on the cajun spice a little, since the kids complained it was too spicy. And I'll throw the green peppers in closer to the time of when the onions are cooking with the garlic, so the green peppers get softer too. Other than that it was delicious! Hopefully hubby will like it when he gets home from work!Pros: "healthified" a fav restaurant recipeCons: a little spicy for the kids

Just so-so Tried this recipe tonight and found it rather bland. I must agree with another post, just another pasta with tomato sauce dish. Pros: Easy Cons: Not much flavor

Simple and DeliciousThis was fantastic. My husband said this was not only a keeper but also a "10." I did a couple of things differently. I used Andouille Sausage instead of the chicken, I used fire roasted crushed tomatoes, I left out the bacon (because of the Andouille) and I diced the green bell pepper and onion.

I followed the instructions (with the addition of an extra clove of garlic or two and a bit extra bacon), and it tasted like pasta with tomato sauce -- nothing special, in the least. The flavors from the cajun seasoning, the peppers, garlic, and onion just blended in with the tomatoes, and the sour cream didn't do much of anything. A pretty solid 'eh'.

Made this the other night and had friends over for dinner. They LOVED it, as did I. I used minced garlic instead and went a little heavy as the previous poster mentioned. The only thing I'd do differently next time is cook the bacon to more of a crisp before sauteeing it, so there was a slight crunch to the bacon once it was part of the cream sauce. Overall, an awesome dish!

I loved it! I tried making it last night. I should have followed the instructions closely though. I think I may have put a pinch or two more of pepper than I should; it is a little spicy but I still enjoyed it. Also instead of 3 cloves of garlic, I added 5. The extra garlic was a good idea. Definitely a meal I'll make again.
