Cajuns know the value of a roux.


Cajun food was created from poor people that didn't have much but had a lot of mouths to feed and had to make a little go a long way, a lot of dishes were created because that's all that was available to cook up a meal

A lot of South Louisiana people screw it up and put flour roux in it. It totally ruins it.


Almost as bad as putting sugar in speghetti sauce.

A little is needed to combat acidity sometimes. A line is crossed when you do it to get your dose of diabetes

Cajun spaghetti can be made spicy and is much preferable to an overly sugary spaghetti sauce IMO. I still think a well made traditional spaghetti is the superior tasting option but a Cajun spaghetti is pretty damn good too



that is my feelings as well.

I love a good traditional spaghetti, but you aren't going to find that in the south, and that's just not how we typically cook.
a good cajun spaghetti really is just a sauce piquant. it's just a spicy spaghetti instead of a sweet one. They can both be great.

Interesting that you cook your noodles so far ahead of the sauce. I don't like noodles that aren't hot.


I don't. I cook noodles at the end. Before i dump the starchy water in the sink i mix a cup in in with the meat sauce.
