One of the easiest ways to lighten up a pasta dish is to add tons of protein and vegetables to your dish which keeps the portions large and the carbs low and this dish is a perfect example. Be sure to be generous with your Cajun spices, it should have plenty of kick so don't be shy! (Skinnytaste.com)

Ingrediants can be cut up and stewed by time pasta is cooked. Preferably use fresh vegetables with the Chilis being roasted, canned is a reasonable subsitute. My family of 8 loves this recipe.

Definitely a savory indulgence. Can greatly reduce fat by using low fat alternatives to heavy cream and butter.

Adapted from Eating Well Recipe; original called for 4 tsp cajun seasoning - comments ranged from bland to too spicy. I think a lot depends on the brand of seasoning you use. I like 1.5 tsp.
Original also called for one onion and 1 bell pepper, chicken breasts instead of thighs, and raw bacon.

This recipe is similar to the Louisiana Chicken Pasta at the Cheesecake Factory. I added some changes and replicated it without knowledge of their recipe, so it has some different flavors, but overall it's a medium-spice level pasta that's cheesy and great paired with melon for those who want something to help any extra kick for a southern-style dinner.

Adapted from Eating Well magazine - filling, low cal, low fat, lots of protein!
