A bit spicy, a bit creamy, this decadent pasta brings a classic Chicken Alfredo to a whole new level. It’s bursting with flavor and spice thanks to the Cajun seasonings. If this doesn’t wake up your taste buds, nothing will! Don’t worry though, if you don’t like your food too spicy, just add less seasoning and it’ll still taste dreamy. Normally this pasta dish contains an astronomical amount of fat and calories at 919 calories and over 61 grams of fat! I’ve made it skinny by using reduced-fat milk instead of heavy cream, less reduced-fat butter instead of regular and opting for fiber dense whole wheat linguine. The skinny on this pasta is now 391 calories, 9.8 grams fat and 10 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. The results will amaze and delight.
