One-Pot Cajun Pasta Recipe

serving size- 4-5

Ingredients

2 Tbsp canola oil
16 oz ground Turkey
1 yellow onion , finely diced
2 tsp cajun seasoning
½ tsp salt
4 garlic cloves , minced
14 oz chopped tomatoes (including juice)
14 oz pasta rigatoni
4 cups chicken stock
3 tbsp cream cheese
4 tbsp parmesan cheese (save some for topping)
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped for garnish
Salt and pepper to season
½ tsp chili flakes to garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot heat the canola oil. Add the ground turkey over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to brown.
Add the diced onion, Cajun seasoning and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Stir the pasta into the pot and lower the heat to a simmer, partially covering the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rigatoni is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese until fully incorporated in the sauce. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until combined. Add salt (if needed), black pepper and chilli flakes.
Top with chopped fresh basil and a little extra grated parmesan and enjoy!
