1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

Stir in cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until everything is well incorporated. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
