CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA WITH LOW-FAT ALFREDO SAUCE
Two recipes from food.com combined into one. (Original version of the Cajun Chicken was delicious, but it was not low fat) Our children don't care for the sun-dried tomatoes, so I normally omit those, although they do add nice color to the dish.

LOW FAT ALFREDO SAUCE
I made this when I had some left over garlic shrimp and wanted to do a shrimp alfredo over whole wheat pasta. Lacking the ingredients for a proper Alfredo ( and concerned about the fat load in regular Alfredo) I scrounged around my cupboards and refrigerator and used what I had. The result was wonderful! The roux adds the thickening missing by not using heavy cream and the buttermilk adds a delicious and fat-free tang. Unless you slop it on your pasta with a shovel, this comes out to about 95 calories per serving versus 400-500 for traditional Alfredo - what a difference!

EASY LOW-FAT ALFREDO SAUCE
This is a very creamy sauce. As its name implies it is very easy...I love to do it with cooked shrimp and what ever fresh veggies I have and put it over noodles. You can use any meat you like. I cook the meat in a separate pan and pour the Alfredo sauce over when cooked. YUMMY!
