Notes

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, use low heat and add a splash of milk or broth for a creamier texture. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese for a smoother sauce. Feel free to customize the spice level of the Cajun seasoning and try different types of cheese or pasta as you like!
