Skillet Cajun Vegetarian Pasta

This is adapted from the Cajun Chicken Pasta recipe from Southern Living Magazine.

You need:

12 oz pkg of linguine

Cajun seasoning - 1 Tbsp to 1/4 tsp... 1 Tbsp makes it pretty spicy

butter or olive oil for sauteeing the vegetables

1 pkg of frozen pepper slices (like a stir-fry mix)

8 oz of sliced fresh mushrooms

green onions (2 to a bunch), sliced

1.5 c half-and-half

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp lemon pepper

1/4 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Cook the pasta according to package directions and saute the peppers, mushrooms and green onions until tender.

Stir in the half-and-half; add Cajun seasoning, salt, lemon pepper, dried basil and garlic powder, and cook on medium-low another 3-4 minutes.

Add to the linguine and toss to coat. Garnish with a little more sliced green onion.

Happy Weekend!
