It was a success. My picky eating son ate it and wanted more. I need to double the sauce because I had too many noodles and it wasn’t saucy enough for me. No complaints about the recipe… this will be added to my list.

Fantastic dinner for a picky eater. I used penne pasta instead and minced red and green bell pepper. I substituted a handful of frozen pre-cooked diced chicken to save time. I accidentally used salted butter and would recommend unsalted like the recipe says because it was a little bit too salty. By the way, if there is any small chance that you have leftovers, it’s better to reheat in a saucepan with a little butter and milk. This is now a family favorite and beats Chili’s version by a mile.

Even without the chicken and bell peppers still a great dish

Very very tasty! I doubled the recipe, and I added 2 sliced onions to my peppers and garlic, but that’s about all I did different! Oh, I didn’t have any Parmesan cheese on hand, but I had an Italian cheese blend with Parmesan in it. I actually make some variation of this every few weeks- sometimes I add smoked sausage, sometimes shrimp. It’s always great! A family favorite!

Truly Good! I got this receipe from my grandson who had already made this Cajun Chicken Bowtie Pasta dish twice. I made it for my daughter and son-in-law and they loved it. You wont regret making this one.

taste good
it's really tasty and the Cajun seasoning is not that strong I would give it to others.

I took it to a another level! I grilled my chicken breast and some additional veggies I added. Added andouille sausage, shrimp and mushrooms. I added all of the meats and pasta back at the end being sure not to overcook anything. I have request to make it for special occasions and this was a weekday! It of course took longer than 20 minutes but it was worth every bite!! Had crusty bread on the side! No salad because of the extra veggies in pasta.

Delicious. Chicken took much longer to cook than instructions said - maybe my pieces were too big - anyway, turned out great :)

So delish... I added more cream for a creamier texture and Parmesan grated cheese on top.
