  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Notes

For a healthier alternative, consider using grilled chicken instead of steak or zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, gently warm in a skillet and add a splash of water or milk if the sauce thickens.
