We Make This Cajun Pasta Every Single Week

This creamy Cajun chicken pasta is absolutely worth the weekly rotation. Trust me on this one. Cook your bowtie pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and colorful bell peppers for 3-5 minutes. Add diced chicken breast with all your Cajun seasonings - basil, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Cook 8-10 minutes until chicken is done. Pour in heavy cream, chicken broth, and cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese melts completely. Slowly add parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Toss in your cooked pasta and mix everything together. Serve with garlic bread and prepare for compliments. The combination of spices and creamy sauce makes this restaurant-quality comfort food at home. #cajunpasta #chickenrecipes #pastanight #Food #Cooking

Tried Making Gnocchi from Scratch—Surprisingly Simple! 🥔✨

Making gnocchi at home seemed intimidating at first, but it turned out to be a straightforward process. I boiled russet potatoes until fork-tender, then peeled and mashed them while still warm. The key is to let the steam escape so the dough doesn’t get gummy. After mixing in flour, an egg, and a pinch of salt, I kneaded the dough just until it came together—overworking it makes the gnocchi tough. Rolling the dough into ropes and cutting it into bite-sized pieces was actually kind of relaxing. I pressed each piece lightly with a fork to get those classic ridges. Boiling them in salted water, I waited for the gnocchi to float, which only took a couple of minutes. Tossed them with a quick brown butter and sage sauce, and the result was pillowy and satisfying. Tip: Use just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking, but not so much that it gets dense. Fresh gnocchi is a game changer compared to store-bought. #homemadegnocchi #pastanight #cookingtips #fromscratch #Food
