Creamy Zydeco Chicken Pasta

eeeeeeew weeeee dis be some good pasta! I made this the other night listening to Zydeco music, hence the name. It has a nice little kick from the creole seasoning that makes you want to get up and shake your tail feather. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I did. This is what I used my homemade pasta with. It was divine!

* Feel free to mix in other veggies too, like mushrooms, broccoli, etc! Or you can even throw in some shrimp instead of using the chicken!


Ingedients:

4 chicken breast, cut into thin strips
8 oz linguine pasta, cooked al dente
4 tsp creole seasoning ( i prefer tony chachere's creole seasoning)
3 Tbsp butter
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 c whippping cream
1/4 c chopped sundried tomatoes
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
*I MADE THIS WITH MY SIMPLE HOMEMADE PASTA DOUGH RECIPE! IT WAS DELISH!*

Directions:

1) Place chicken and Creole seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.

2) In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until chicken is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.  

3) Add green onions, heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper mix well. Turn heat up till it boils let it boil for about 1 minute and then reduce the heat. Whisk in the cornstarch. Cook until sauce thicken a little.           

4)   Pour over hot linguine and toss with Parmesan cheese.      

 NOTE: The sauce may look a little thin. It will thicken up as it mixes and absorbs in the pasta.
