Pasta With Cajun Cream Sauce
- 1 lb dry pasta (I like rigatoni)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (or creole-use your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- In large stockpot, boil water for pasta.
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic, saute additional 1 minute.
- Stir chicken bouillon into white wine and add to pan.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce to half - about 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook your pasta to the al dente stage.
- Add cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and tomato paste to the sauce. Stir.
- Add heavy cream. When the cream mixture is almost bubbling, turn heat to low. Let the creme mixture reduce to half - about 5 minutes.
- Drain the pasta very well - add pasta to the creme sauce.
- Toss with freshly chopped parsley and Parmesan.
- Serve.
