hello everyone it’s lola here again and
i welcome you all back to my kitchen so
today we are going to be making the most
delicious jambalaya pasta and in about
30 minutes we are going to put
everything together so let’s get started
i’m using this pasta today however you
can use any pasta of your choice
all right so you want to boil this for
about 10 minutes you don’t want it to be
too soft you want it kind of all dante
that is the texture we are looking for
[Music]
so here we go the pasta is
done like i said we don’t want to cook
it too soft
it’s just right i’m now going to just
drain this water then i’m going to be
setting it aside
i’m going to be preheating some oil
inside my pan about three to four
tablespoons it’s fine
so while the oil is getting preheated
i’m just going to quickly season my
shrimps with some
cajun spice
give that a good mix you want all the
shrimps to be well coated with the
seasoning
i’ll also season my chicken too with
some cajun seasoning as well mix that
together thoroughly
just like you did for the shrimps
and once that is done just set it aside
once the oil is nice and hot go ahead
and add the shrimps
[Music]
so once the shrimps are well browned on
both sides i’ll just go ahead and take
everything off the heat
[Music]
in the same pan i’m going to be frying
my chicken
so once the chicken are well browned on
one side you want to flip them to the
other side and you also want to cook the
flip side until it becomes nicely
browned
so once the chicken is nicely browned
i’m just going to take it off the heat
as well and i’ll be setting it aside
so finally i’ve got my sausage
i’m also going to be cooking this until
it’s nicely browned on both sides
[Music]
so here i’ve got my vegetables well
prepped it’s important to get everything
prepped ahead of time it’s going to save
you a lot of cooking time in the kitchen
and stress and you know going back and
forth
all right i’ll now be adding my onions
inside my pan followed by my minced
garlic and my bay leaf
so you want to mix everything together
and leave the onion to cook until it
becomes a little bit softened
all right so my onions are now
soft and a little bit caramelized they
are looking so good
in goes my
bell peppers my green and my red bell
peppers
and also i’m going to be adding my
tomatoes
give that a good mix
so at this point i’m going to be
seasoning this with my spices i’m adding
a little bit of red chili flakes just
for a little bit of heat
a little bit of oregano
black pepper
thyme
and a little bit of more cajun seasoning
you can use this as much as you want to
all right go ahead and give that a good
mix
so you know the cajun seasoning comes
with a lot of salt so this is a good
time to check
your food to know if you need a little
more salt or it’s just fine
so you want to leave this to cook for a
few minutes just for the vegetables to
get
softened all right this smells so good
now
but we are not yet done
it’s now time to add our tomato sauce
and some chicken stock
so before i cover this up i’m going to
be adding my chicken
mix that all together
now cover this up and allow it to come
to a rolling boil
all right this is now looking nice and
good and it smells really good in here
all right the next thing i’m going to do
is to add my pasta i want to mix that in
thoroughly
and finally i’m going to be adding the
shrimps
you want to go ahead and mix that in as
well
so now i’m going to be covering this and
i’m going to leave it to simmer for few
more minutes so that the pasta can
absorb all that beautiful
flavor so that is it guys this looks so
good as you can see and it smells
absolutely good
plus it’s very delicious
so this is how i make my
jambalaya pasta very easy to put
together and
very tasty
so that’s it again for today thank you
very much for spending your time with me

  1. First time cooking any type of pasta and I didn’t think it was going to come out close to this but it did!! Just follow these exact instructions and you would end up with an amazingggg pasta 🍝🤩🤌🏻

  2. Best version of this recipe! Thank you! BTW for those without tomatoes on hand it works if you add canned diced tomatoes too!

  3. Yesss Made some last night with rolls and Cesar salad. Gonna use chicken broth next time. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  4. Hola. Hice tu receta… es súper exquisita. Muchísimas gracias por compartirla…esta fija en mi recetario personal, es una gozada de receta. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo. Saludos desde Madrid.

  5. I just tried this tonight w/a few changes. I used rigatoni noodles instead and I also used Creole Seasoning as well. It still turned out great.

  6. The recipe looked spot on…. until she added the garlic at the same time as the onions. This is a massive mistake as garlic will burn before onions are cooked. I recommend adding garlic 45 seconds to 90 seconds before adding wet ingredients. Still looks good, just dont burn the garlic.

  7. Hello Chef Lola, I’m born and raised in south Louisiana where this dish originates and we call this dish “pastalaya”. When there is rice in it instead of pasta we call it jambalaya. Just wanted to let you know.

  8. Made it, and it was great! Thank you for sharing your recipe. Definitely won’t be going to any more restaurants to get it.
