• 340g dried gluten free spaghetti
• 3 Tbsp garlic infused oil
• 2.5 Tbsp The Friendly Food Co ‘For Every O’Cajun’ Seasoning 
• 3 Tbsp gluten free flour
• 250mL coconut milk

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add spaghetti and cook according to cooking instructions on packet.
2. Whilst pasta is cooking, in a large fry pan or sauce pan, heat the garlic infused olive oil, add the Cajun seasoning, cooking for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in the flour, mixing to form a paste. 
3. Whisk in coconut cream and cashew milk until there are no lumps. Note: ensure heat isn’t too high as dairy free milk will separate.
