Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Cajun seasoning. If desired, swap steak for chicken or use different pasta types such as fettuccine or spaghetti. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of cream for the best texture. To make it healthier, try using zucchini noodles or whole wheat linguine. Enjoy the amazing flavors and happy cooking!
