Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta

Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef

Sauce

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream cheese and Cajun seasoning into the cooked beef. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully melted and forms a creamy sauce.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy Cajun sauce and heated through.
  5. Serve: Spoon the Cajun Cream Cheese Alfredo Bowties onto plates and serve warm. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach the desired consistency.
  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to taste for milder or spicier flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a little milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
