    I’ve never heard of black spices. What are they and what do I use if I can’t get them where I live?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      It’s used in Cajun and Creole cuisine. You can purchase them ready made in grocery stores or online. Or make your own using these spices: Smoked paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne.

  4. Dominique says:

    Can you recommend a substitute for heavy cream? Or can I exclude it?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      The heavy cream is what gives it a lovely, creamy texture. You can substitute with whole milk and butter, or yogurt.

  5. Ann Reinis Lackey says:

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

  6. Karen Stone says:

    How do you make the parmesan sauce?

    BTW, I LOVE your recipes!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Karen, the sauce is made by cooking the chicken broth and cream together and then top with Parmesan cheese. It’s in the method.

  7. Karen Anderson says:

    What do ‘blackened spices’, noted in your recipe, consist of?

      Hi Karen, I bought a bottled blackened spice seasoning, it has a variety of spices like cayenne pepper, etc.

  8. Wendy Saucier says:

    Where do you buy the blackened seasoning for the blackened chicken pasta?
