12
12 ounces of pasta [I prefer penne for this one]
1-2 tablespoons of [unsalted] butter
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
Half-and-half [amount will depend on how creamy you want it. I use a 32 fluid ounce size container, but you can start with about 1 and a half cups if you'd like]
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into tiny bite size pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, to taste)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 firm-ripe [roma] tomatoes, cored and diced
[1 cup] of mozzarella cheese, shredded or grated
1-2 tablespoons of [unsalted] butter
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
