When I make this Creamy Cajun Beef Spaghetti, I can already taste the bold Cajun flavor as the beef sizzles in the pan. The aroma of garlic and onions hits first, then that smoky, spicy seasoning takes over the kitchen. I love how the heavy cream and chicken broth come together to create a silky, rich sauce that hugs every strand of spaghetti. The cheeses melt down into a smooth, velvety coating that feels indulgent but still comforting. It is hearty, full of flavor, and the perfect twist on traditional spaghetti. Every bite gives me creamy, cheesy goodness with that little Cajun kick that keeps me going back for more.

Total Time 25

Servings 6

Ingredients

12 oz spaghetti
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 medium yellow onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.
Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the beef evenly so every bite gets that bold flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses. Mix until the sauce becomes creamy, smooth, and fully combined.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until every strand is coated with the creamy Cajun sauce. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavor.
Top with fresh parsley or extra cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy that perfect balance of creamy, cheesy, and spicy goodness.

Recipe Tips

Don’t skip letting the sauce simmer for a few minutes before adding the pasta. It gives the flavors time to blend and thickens the sauce perfectly so it clings to every noodle.
