Skinny Vegetable Cajun Pasta

Now that the New Year is approaching us, I know everyone vows to eat healthier. I love eating healthy, but I also love indulging once in a while. It really is about finding balance, and being able to enjoy the things you love, and not feel like you are missing out. That’s why when I altered this recipe from Skinny Taste, I knew it would be great. I love creamy pastas, but let’s face it, pasta is not very healthy…especially when you load it up with creamy cheesy sauce.  Making simple substitutes in this recipe make all the difference, and even though I didn’t, you could also make things healthier by using whole wheat pasta.  I absolutely love this Skinny Vegetable Cajun Pasta, it’s so flavorful and delicious!

You can switch up the veggies in this pasta too, or add chicken or shrimp if you want to add some more protein. I love the peppers, onions, and mushrooms though; it’s a great combination.  Topping the pasta with green onions gives a nice extra crunch, and of course the delicious Cajun seasoning (this stuff is great on everything) spices things up wonderfully.
