WOWZERS if you enjoy a cajun kick and melted cheesy pasta then THIS is for you!

I am in love with Al Dente pasta with how delicious and Weight Watchers friendly it is. I’ve not been a huge pasta fan my entire life but I have turned out to be obsessed with making different pasta dishes.

This recipe I had made for dinner one night and this time turned it into a meal prep and tweaked it slightly. The best part of this recipe is how easy it is. The sauce mixes in a blender then stirred in with the cooked pasta. Topped with air fried blackened chicken and you have yourself a delicious meal!

There is something so comforting about this meal! I love a good spicy chicken with a cheesy creamy pasta. Making this with rice is amazing too!

I am so excited for my lunches this week!
