Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the garlic cream sauce before the heavy cream.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your taste; start with less if you're sensitive to spice.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of cream or milk for the best results.
