Cajun Pasta Carnivale
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Cajun Pasta Carnivale is my recipe of the day for a Mardis Gras recipe event with some of my food blogging peers. The pasta is a creamy and delicious version of pasta jambalaya. Festive enough for Mardis Gras, it evokes the feeling of Carnivale.

It is in some ways similar to Cajun chicken pasta but has a bit more to it. If you like the chicken pasta you are sure to like this. It had characteristics of jambalaya but with a Cajun spiced alfredo sauce.
