Method
 

How to Make Cajun Cream Cheese Alfredo Bowties
  1. Begin by cooking the bowtie pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente—about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set it aside, letting the steam escape.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula, cooking until it’s no longer pink, around 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, stirring for about 1 minute until the kitchen fills with a fragrant aroma.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy.
  5. Gradually mix in the heavy cream, combining until the sauce becomes smooth and luxurious.
  6. Gently toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring every piece is coated in that heavenly sauce. If it’s too thick, add a splash more cream for that perfect consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and watch your loved ones dig in with smiles!
