Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound dry pasta
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cajun or creole seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • In large stockpot, boil salted water for pasta. Cook pasta 1 minute shy of package instructions. Drain pasta. (You can cook the Creamy Cajun Sauce while the pasta boils.)
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. When shimmering, add onions. Cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic, cook additional 30 seconds until fragrant. 
  • Add the white wine. Let the wine reduce to half – about 3 minutes. 
  • Add cajun seasoning, salt, paprika and tomato paste. Stir.
  • Add heavy cream. When the cream mixture is almost bubbling, turn heat to low. Let the cream mixture reduce to half – about 2 minutes. Add the pasta to the cream sauce and cook additional minute. Toss with freshly chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.
