I picked up some colourful pasta this weekend at La Bottega, with Presto Pasta Nights in mind.
Not as cool as Zebra Pasta, but a step above the usual whole wheat stuff.
Spaghetti with Cajun Chicken
Free Online Recipes
Ingredients:
3/4lb angel hair pasta (cooked) (I used spaghetti)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (cut into strips) (I used 2 breast halves)
2 tablespoons fresh garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons Cajun-style blackened seasoning (I used this cajun spice)
salt and pepper (to taste)
10 roma tomatoes (diced) (I used a large can of diced tomatoes)
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet, to medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and fry until brown on the outside. Stir in basil, garlic, blackened seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix in tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes are semi soft and the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 2: Toss with noodles and top with crumbled feta cheese.
(Makes 5 Servings)
Overall, a good dish. Makes for a quick and simple meal.

Just as cool as Zebra pasta. Standing up pre cooking they look like pick up sticks :)
What a gorgeous looking dish and I love the flavors. I am bummed I didn't get it together to make a PPN dish this week!
Dang it! I didnt know you were hosting PPN this time round... that dish looks just lovely!
What fun pasta!
Looks very festive. All that's missing are the beads from Mardi Gras. Thanks for sharing and hosting PResto Pasta Nights.
Loving the cajun chicken addition! I like a little spice with my pasta.
aside from my favorite part about this (the colors, obviously), the addition of cajun-spiced chicken is a great idea. good stuff!
I love the coloured pastas Giz.It just makes eating that much more festive:D
