PASTALAYA

Steps:

• Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds, then cut any larger pieces in half. Add the sausage and vegetable oil to a large pot and cook over medium heat until the sausage is well browned (about 5 minutes).
• Mince two cloves of garlic and add them to the pot. Sauté for one minute, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Add the bag of frozen seasoning mix and sauté until heated through (3-5 minutes). Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices), Creole seasoning, oregano, smoked paprika, thyme, freshly cracked pepper (about 20 cranks of a pepper mill), and pasta to the pot. Finally, add the chicken broth and 1 cup of water, and stir until everything is evenly combined.
• Place a lid on the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Let the pot come to a boil. As soon as it reaches a boil, stir briefly, replace the lid, turn the heat down to low, and let the pot simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir the pot once every few minutes as it simmers to prevent the pasta from sticking. Replace the lid as quickly as possible to maintain a simmer. If the mixture still seems soupy at around 8 minutes, let the pot simmer without a lid for the last few minutes. A little bit of thick sauce at the bottom of the pot is perfect.
• While the pasta is simmering, chop the parsley and slice the green onions.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the half & half or cream. Stir in most of the chopped parsley and green onions, reserving some to sprinkle over top of each bowl. Serve hot.

ONE-POT PASTALAYA (SERVES 6) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Coat a very large skillet (about 14 inches in diameter) with a lid with the olive oil. On medium heat, warm the oil and add the sliced sausage. After the sausage begins to render some of its fat, raise the heat and add the chicken. Sauté until the sausage and chicken just begin to brown a bit. Stir the onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, paprika, thyme, basil, oregano, and cayenne (if using) into the sausage and chicken and sauté over medium heat until the vegetables soften. Crush the tomatoes and add them, along with their juices, to the pan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, partially covered. Add one cup of the water, bring up to a low boil, and stir in the pasta. The pasta should take about 12 minutes to cook, so at the 7-minute mark, add the shrimp and continue to simmer until the pasta is al dente and the shrimp is just cooked through. If you need to loosen the dish up a bit, add that extra 1/2 cup of water during the last few minutes. Serve in bowls, and garnish with the green onion.

PASTALAYA

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in large Dutch oven pot, add seasoning vegetables & saute until just turning tender. Add sausage & brown for a few minutes. Stirring so vegetables dont burn.
• 2. Add chicken, rotel, soup, & broth. Bring to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, break spaghetti noodles in half add noodles to the mix. Bring this to another boil. At this point, add salt & pepper to taste. The salt taste should be a little heavy at this point because the noodles will soak up a good bit.
• 3. Cover the pot & turn the heat to low/simmer. Cook until noodles are done & the liquid has been absorbed. This should be about 20 minutes or so. Serve with hot crusty garlic bread.
