While making my creamy cajun chicken pasta thing on Tuesday, I re-learned a simple but valuable lesson to taste your food while cooking!
I over salted, ugh, I know. Horrible!
I typically spice my food with regular spices and not mixes because rarely do I find a mix that isn't 90% salt and 10% spice! But, not being from the South, I have no idea what goes into cajun spices. Sooo, I use slap ya mama mix! Well, forgetting that it does have salt, I added a ton to my sauce and then added garlic and salted my water for the pasta (like necessary). But once complete, it was a bowl of salt lick. Gross. Needless to say, no one was asking for seconds and we had a "round 2" with cheese its later that evening.
I will say, I have made the recipe many times and this is the only time it has sucked ballz. The cream sauce is an amazing way to eat creamy pasta guilt free. I use reduced sodium stock and low fat laughing cow.
