Creamy Cajun Pasta Shells

Creamy Cajun pasta is one of my favorite dishes. I love the combination of anything creamy with anything spicy and it's pasta - so it's a win. However restaurant versions of this dish many times pack in over 1500 calories so I like to make it at home instead with high fiber or whole wheat pasta, lots of veggies, and a touch of cream cheese to create the sauce. You can adjust the heat to fit your preferences. If you like things really spicy, add some cayenne or chipotles in adobo sauce.
