How to Make Cajun Alfredo Sauce Matt

Heat 2 cups heavy cream in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
Once the cream simmers gently, add 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning (adjust to your spice preference) and stir until well combined.
Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the simmering cream and whisk constantly until melted and fully incorporated.
Reduce heat to low. Gradually add 2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. Add 1/2 cup of grated Pecorino Romano cheese for extra sharpness (optional).
Cook your pasta according to package directions. Once cooked, immediately drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions (optional).
