When I cook pasta, I don’t have exact recipes that I follow. Whatever we have in the fridge is what I use, as long as these would give delight the fickle taste buds of my children.
Here is my simple version of chicken alfredo pasta Cajun Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:
tomatoes
red and green bell pepper
sliced olives (optional, I added these because we have extra from another dish that I cooked)
bite-sized chicken (from chicken breasts)
all-purpose cream and cheese for the sauce
Italian herb seasoning for flavors instead of Cajun
spaghetti noodles cooked according to instructions
I topped mine with fresh parsley bits.

Squash is rich in carotene and the richer the color, the more concentration there is in the nutrients. Squash is also a good source of folic acid, fiber, vitamins B1 and C.
