Cajun Chicken Linguini

I have brought this pasta dish to my fellowship potluck last Friday. I am happy to receive some compliments. Everyone likes the unique taste of Cajun which brings a little spiciness to the creamy dish. Moreover, I really enjoy the sun dried tomatoes. I have never cooked with sun dried tomatoes before, but it certainly adds some flavor to the dish. I find that I really like to bring pasta to potluck lately. This is too convenient, isn't it? My pasta is not saucy at all as you can see from the picture, since I hate pasta when it's all creamy and greasy. But if you like it with more sauce, you can always control the proportion.
