2 thoughts on “Spicy Fireside Cajun Pasta – DnD Tavern Inspired Cooking”
Holy crap, this dish is delicious! A small kick paired with soft creaminess, an absolutely tavernesque dish. If you are a spice lover, I would recommend either adding more peppers/spice or less cream cheese, but I think it’s a perfect balance for those who enjoy the lower spice levels. Makes for wonderful leftovers as well.
So glad you liked it as much as we did!
