If you are looking to shake up your protein options you can substitute shrimp, andouille sausage, or even turkey for a leaner option. What kind of pasta works best for Cajun chicken pasta? I’ve tested several different pasta varieties to serve with this recipe. Our favorites are penne, fusilli, farfalle, and rotini. Ultimately, the choice of pasta comes down to personal preference. Feel free to experiment and choose the pasta shape you enjoy the most or even mix different shapes for a visually appealing and flavorful dish. Can I adjust the level of spiciness in the recipe? Yes. It’s fairly simple to lower the spice level of this dish. If you’re looking for less heat, simply lower the amount of red pepper flakes to 1/4 of a teaspoon or remove completely. For extra spice, stir in an additional 1/4 teaspoon of red flakes.
