JAMBALAYA PASTA WITH PENNE, CHICKEN, SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE

Steps:

• Fill a large, 1-gallon stock pot with a pasta insert, 3/4 full with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and season with salt to taste. Place the penne in the salted water and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta until nearly al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• While the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, swirl the pan to evenly coat with the oil. Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the shrimp in the pan and sear for 1 minute per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add another tablespoon of the olive oil to the saute pan and season the chicken breast with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for 3 minutes, turning to ensure even browning. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside with the seared shrimp.
• Place the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the saute pan and add the sausage, onions and bell peppers. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly caramelized and the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to the pan and scrape with a spoon to remove any browned bits that have formed in the bottom of the pan, about 30 seconds. Add the diced tomatoes, fresh thyme, the remaining tablespoon of Essence and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes.

CAJUN JAMBALAYA PASTA RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Prep all the vegetables and sausage; set aside. Drain the tomatoes in a colander set over a large mixing bowl; reserve the juice. Set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot that has a cover over medium-high heat; then add the chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side, just until no longer pink (it will finish cooking later). Remove chicken from skillet. Reheat skillet, then add the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned. Remove and drain well on paper towels. Reheat the skillet, then add the onion and bell peppers (add a little more oil if needed) and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; reduce the heat to medium and saute just until veggies are crisp tender, stirring frequently. (They will finish cooking later). Add the garlic and cook and stir for 1 more minute. Remove skillet from heat but do not turn the burner off. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the skillet along with the browned sausage, canned tomatoes (reserve the juice), and all the seasonings; set back on burner and heat the mixture through over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Add the reserved tomato juice (I had about 1 cup), chicken broth, and heavy cream, stirring to mix. Stir in the uncooked pasta and bring to a boil; then cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium/medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has cooked out. (It should have a little liquid left, the pasta will absorb it). Garnish with a little parsley or chopped green onion and serve hot with corn and buttered, toasted French bread.

CHUCK'S PASTA JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a saute or frying pan brown chicken and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Don't brown if using leftover bird, but you may want to season the meat. Cut meat into bite sized pieces. Brown the sliced smoked sausage and pour off fat. In the pot, saute onions, garlic, pepper and celery in oil until onions begin to turn transparent.In the same pot, while sauteeing the 'trinity' add the tomato paste and let it pince, meaning let it brown a little. This adds depth of flavour by browning the tomato paste a little; the sugar in the paste begins to carmelize, deepening the flavour and colour. Keep it moving so that it browns but doesn't burn. Once the vegetables are translucent and the tomato paste achieves sort of a red mahogany colour, deglaze the pan with about 2 cups of the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to mix up any browned bits. Stir until smooth, making sure the sauteed vegetables, paste and stock are combined thoroughly. It should be fairly thick. Add the Creole seasoning, tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook over low-medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the meat and/or seafood and cook another 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the seafood. Add the rest of the stock, check seasonings and stir in the rice, combining thoroughly. Cook for about 20 - 25 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked through. Check seasoning then turn down heat to low-medium and let the sauce thicken a bit, with the pot uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients. When the jambalaya has thickened and has reached the right consistency, it's done.
