T g i Friday’s Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta, Here is a copycat recipe that I received via email , This recipe was NOTHING like TGI Fridays I had to add other ingredients to make it taste good, booooo, Tweaks required for 5 stars!! In general make sure to get our special ingredient which kicked up the flavor on our dish Paesana Fra Diavolo Hot & Spicy Pasta Sauce (and no this is not a paid advertisement just my favorite sauce) and since it wasn’t addressed in the recipe we figured out how were going to infuse the meat with the kick from the cayenne (which we kept pronouncing as Kanye, LOL making dinner at 10pm makes us silly) This dish came out AMAZING with our changes!! ______________________ My sister and I made this recipe SOOO much better! My sister and I didn’t see the bad reviews for this until after we bought all of the ingredients and started cooking, our on the fly fixes made it creamy and thick with a kick of delicious flavor (Just like TGI Friday!) Fix 1) Onions take 5+minutes to become translucent Fix 2) before the deglazing step remove pepper/onion/garlic and most of oil from sauce pan and mix with warm pasta to keep it from sticking Fix 3) After adding the stock to the remaining oil & garlic/onion pan and reducing the mixture by a quarter, add the shrimp &/or chicken (we didn’t use chicken so it might take longer to cook) and reduce it a little bit more if needed The shrimp added a little moisture to ours Fix 4) After heating the meat substitute the V-8 juice with 2 cups of Paesana Fra Diavolo hot and spicy pasta sauce (I bought at Market Basket in MA) with 1/4tsp of cayenne And cook the meat in the spices for the 10 minutes as instructed Fix 5) Remove meat and mix it with the Pasta/onion/pepper/garlic/oil to keep pasta from sticking Fix 6) Using a 1 to 1 ration of cold water to cornstarch we used 3 tbls of cold water and slowly whisked (used a fork) 3 tbls of cornstarch into the water Once meat was removed we mixed small potions of the slurry into the sauce until as thick as you want OMG – this meal provided my sister who loves HEAT and me who prefers MILD both a delicious meal that we LOVED The one variation on our meal that we are hoping to try next time is to seer the shrimp in the Cayenne for my sister because it will probably be too spicy for me
