This pasta dish is packed with veggies, chicken, shrimp, and sausage, and is coated with a lower-fat, Alfredo-like sauce. I add plenty of Cajun seasoning to give it extra kick. It tastes like a restaurant-quality dish, and feeds a hungry crew!
1. Cook pasta in salted water, according to package directions. When it’s done, drain it but make sure to reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
2. Whisk together evaporated milk, Parmesan, egg yolks, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken and shrimp with Cajun seasoning and add to pan. Saute until chicken and shrimp are browned and fully cooked, about 4 minutes. (The shrimp might finish sooner; just remove that from the pan, as it turns pink)
4. Remove chicken from pan, and then add oil to pan.
5. Add sausage, mushrooms, onion, red pepper, and garlic. Cook until sausage starts to brown and veggies are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
6. Add 1/4 cup of pasta water to pan and deglaze, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until water is nearly evaporated.
7. Add chicken and shrimp, and peas, if using. Add sauce mixture, stirring until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Add pasta to pan, tossing to combine and coat. Sprinkle with scallions before serving.

This was great! We made it pretty much like the recipe suggested – minus steps 6 and 8 (no scallions).

This was awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. The flavors were great and it all came together easily. This will be on our dinner menu often.
