Step 3

Stir in Cajun seasoning, paprika, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add cream and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add lemon juice.

Step 5

This recipe makes enough sauce for 8 ounces of dry pasta. Use your favorite pasta and toss it immediately after cooking. Add 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water to help the sauce bind better with the pasta.
