Steps:
- In a cast iron pot, brown the chicken sprinkled with Creole Seasoning then remove from pot and set aside. Brown pork until most of water has left pot and starting to barely stick to pot and brown really good(about 30-40 minutes). Add sausage to the pork and cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes stirring often. Next add all vegetables and dash of hot sauce. Let cook down on medium heat while carefully stirring to prevent sticking. Vegetables will make extra water so don't be alarmed. When vegetables are cooked down and wilted, add water and return chicken to the pot with everything else. Next add the rest of the seasonings and return to a boil over medium high heat. Remember that pasta will absorb the seasonings, so make sure the water tastes just a little more salty and peppery than you would like. After water comes to a boil, break pasta in half and sprinkle into mixture. Be careful pasta does not stick and clump together. When all of the pasta has softened and absorbed most of the water, lower heat to medium low and add green onions. Stir carefully and place lid on pot for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, lift lid and stir pot completely then replace lid. Lower heat to very, very low and cook covered for 15 more minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the heat off. DO NOT REMOVE LID!!! Let it sit for about 30 minutes. After this, lift the lid, stir the pot over, and enjoy your dish.

SPAGHETTI JAMBALAYA / PASTALAYA
One of my favorite meals, is Jambalaya. This is a twist to the original recipe, but very enjoyable. As always, cajun cooking is a slower process, not to be rushed. Part of the fun is cooking outside, with friends, talking and laughing waiting on the meal.
