Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 TBS olive oil
- ½ red pepper , sliced
- ½ yellow pepper , sliced
- ½ orange pepper , sliced
- 1 small yellow onion , sliced
- 2 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces linguine
- 1 cup milk (I used 1%) + ¼ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups vegetable or chicken broth
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 green onions , chopped
Notes
- If you would like to add chicken to this dish, simply chop the chicken into bite sized pieces and cook it FIRST in the skillet with the garlic and oil. Sprinkle half of the cajun seasoning over the chicken while cooking, and then add the other half of the seasoning when you add the pasta. Leave the chicken in the pot when you cook the rest - easy!
- If you would like to use the whole box of pasta in this recipe, just DOUBLE everything - easy!
