Cajun Chicken Rigatoni
Juicy Cajun-spiced chicken breast, rubbed in smoked paprika, cumin and a warm kick of cayenne, then folded through rigatoni in a rich, creamy Cajun tomato sauce. Sweet peppers, onion, cherry tomatoes and spinach bring colour and freshness, while the sauce stays silky, comforting and full of gentle Southern heat.

Tell me when Cajun Chicken Rigatoni changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the service publishes, and services change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
