You can, but just be mindful of the salt amount and don’t add any additional salt until you’ve tasted it at the end. We formulated this Cajun blend have the perfect salt amount for the recipe and some store-bought Cajun seasonings have a lot of salt. I know a lot of other readers have done it with success, though! I would do about 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning.

Honestly, we’d just pop a portion in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or reheat it all on the stove on medium-low until warmed through.

The sauce should be pretty thick by the time the pasta is cooked through! If it’s still too liquidy for you, you can add a bit more cream cheese to make it creamier or perhaps you could spoon out some of the sauce and add a teaspoon or so of cornstarch to it to make a slurry and add it back in to the pasta to thicken the sauce.

I think it should freeze fine! There’s always a chance it could separate as you reheat it but it should come back together. Congratulations!

In my opinion, it was quite salty, but that could’ve been due to the chicken broth I used. My first alteration was adding an extra cup of water for the noodles to soften enough. The Cajun seasoning wasn’t very Cajun—it seasoned the chicken and gave the pasta a nice flavour, but it wasn’t as robust as you’d expect from Cajun cuisine.

The other alteration I made was using light cream cheese instead of standard cream cheese. I let each person add it to their desired consistency.

Overall, this is a good base recipe that you can play with as needed. My partner enjoyed it.
