PASTALAYA 1 lb Pork Chopped Kosher Salt & Black Pepper (to season pork) 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil 1 lb Boneless Chicken Thighs Chopped 1 lb Smoked Sausage 2 Onions 1 Bell Pepper 1 Bunch Green Onion 2 Sticks of Celery 4 Cloves of Garlic 1/2 Tablespoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 3 Beef Bouillon Cubes 3 & 1/2 Cups Water 1 (10.5 oz) Can of Cream of Chicken Soup 1 Tablespoon of Hot Sauce 1 Tablespoon Browning Sauce 1 lb (16 oz) of Bow Tie or Favorite Pasta First, start out by heating an oven safe pot over medium heat. Prepare the meat by cutting the pork and chicken into cube like pieces, and slice the sausage. Chop your vegetables and move them to the fridge. Season the pork well with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the vegetable oil to the pot, move the pot around to spread evenly, and sear the pork in the oil. When you no longer see pink, turn the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes stirring every so often. At the 20 minute mark, add the chicken and let cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. After 10 minutes, remove the pork and chicken with a slotted spoon into a bowl. Add the sausage to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes or until you see some browning. At this point preheat your oven to 300° After 10-15 minutes, Remove the sausage so that there's nothing left but the drippings. Add the onion, bell pepper, green onion, celery, garlic, cajun seasoning, and beef bouillon cubes. Sauté until completely soft, roughly 1 hour. Add the water, cream of chicken, hot sauce, kitchen boquet and raise the heat. When the soup has blended, add the pasta and meat back in. Mix well. Once everything mixed nicely, gently press down on the top so that all pasta is touching liquid. Bring the mix to a boil. Once boiling, cover, turn the fire off, and put the pot in the oven. Cook for exactly 1 hour. Do NOT touch that oven! Leave it alone! Trust me. When done, remove the pot, and set aside for 5 minutes before uncovering. When the time is up, remove the cover, mix the top to the bottom, and serve. If concerned about some of the pasta not being cooked all the way, after you stir the top to the bottom, just cover it back up and let it sit for another five minutes, then serve. Hope you enjoy!

Pulled this out the oven 10 minutes ago and y’all...this is EVERYTHING!!!!! Followed the recipe to the letter and it’s PERFECTION! 😋 Thank you SOOOOO MUCH for this recipe!

Louisiana is here for a reason. To eat, drink and enjoy yourself with family and friends. The ninja makes it easy!! Thanks buddy!!

Been making this for 2 years after i saw this. My opinion, this is still the best recipe of all of them Cajun Njnja makes. Greatness.

I can’t tell you how many times I keep coming back to this video/recipe! Never fails to satisfy

Broooo I’ve made this several times and I gotta tell ya it’s my absolute favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your Cajun wisdom brother. Much love from Philadelphia!!!

My family went crazy over this!! Thank you so much for the awesome recipe! Fixing to try the meatball stew tonight! 😋😋

My god.... i've cooked this dish and followed your dieections and now.... my family wants it all the time. Great dish. Thank you

That pastalaya looks so very delicious.😋🤤 Have a great rest of your week with your family.

Ninja!! You made me a cook overnight! Dishes that used to be only attempted by the veteran’s when I was a kid…you explain everything to perfection. Thanks man!!

Dude's a genius at Louisiana cooking. I haven't discovered anyone who makes complicated dishes easy enough for the "worst" cooks to follow.

- Luv, luv, luv your recipes. Spent lot of my childhood in Raceland, Houma, Napoleonville, LA so was used to hearing my Granny say, "get the rue right & yo' food'll be good." Thanx 4 sharing. Keep the meals coming.

All this staying at home is doing is allowing The Cajun Ninja to make more great recipes! ❤️ Pi-yahhhhh 👊🏻

Love pasta too. Making this tomorrow. It's always been a hit with my family.

This looks amazing!! Definitely going to try this with some low carb pasta substitutes!! Thanks for sharing!

Cajun Ninja , I prepared this for my Father’s Day Dinner it was a hit . No left overs for tomorrow! Great recipe! Delicious!

Just did a double batch for a slew of relatives visiting. Smells incredible and I bet tastes just as good as the first batch. Thanks for this.

As a former 22-year resident of Baton Rouge, who now lives back in Canada where I'm from, I've had pastalaya many times, but have never made it until now. So good. Thanks for the recipe. Enjoying some pastalaya as I type :)

Looks really good. I’m going to cook it this week. Love how you explain things and the humor. So relatable!!

We made this last weekend and it was SO GOOD, I'm making it again tonight!! Thanks so much for this delicious meal!!! ❤

This looks so good! My mouth is watering 😋😋😋 I been wanting some for awhile!!!

I actually cooked pastalaya this evening. My recipe I had for years but it’s similar to yours. You influenced a few small changes for sure mostly in the process. I use blackening seasoning on my chicken and use golden mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and that’s really bout it. I’m born and raised New Orleans and in Metairie now. so great Louisiana minds think alike lol

Absolutely awesome!!!

Making this right now. Smells so good!

I put my pasta in the gravy then added my meat on top without stirring then baked. I think it allowed the pasta to absorb more seasoning and cook evenly.

Made this last night and it was a hit! Love the new recipe 💪

SUCH A GREAT RECIPE! I used penne instead of bowtie pasta, cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken and didn’t add the kitchen bouquet (worked with what I had) and still came out great!! “Do you” 😋😋

Made this tonight and I'm telling you, it's spot on! My son loved the Zatarain's Pastalaya and was so sad when they discontinued it. He asked me to make it from scratch so I went straight to your videos for a recipe. He says this was better than Zatarain's! This recipe went straight into my handwritten cookbook that I'm working on for my boys. It's a keeper for sure! I added 1/4 teaspoon of Zatarain's liquid crab boil instead of hot sauce. That's my secret ingredient for my gumbo and red beans and rice too. Thanks Cajun Ninja!

Damn man that looks insane delicious ! I love using my Dutch oven but never thought about using it for a pasta dish. I will add some Boursin cheese to mine for the extra creamy goodness.

Just spent the afternoon making this dish. It came out great! My wife is from Lafayette and had never had Jambalaya with pasta and absolutely loved it! Prefers it over her own recipe. Thank you!

Made this tonight, only had chicken bouillon cubes and 'baw' this came out freakin awesome...thanks bro!

Made this yesterday! It’s delicious. Having leftovers right now! Boy that spice kicked in even more today I’m sweating 😅 But delicious! Thank you for sharing. I will make it again to share with family 😊

I make this all the time and it's always a hit. In the oven as I type this lol. Thank you!

I've been making this since you posted the first one and my boys love it. I make it with orzo.

Hope you guys are safe man! Huge fan of your channel! Much love big dog! Be safe.

09/26/2023 - it's opening day weekend in Texas for bow season this Saturday and I'm serving this for the 3rd year in a row to the hunters. It is a huge hit. ❤ Thank you and God bless from the Thibodeaux Family

Can't believe I've never had this. In fact I've never even heard of it. And I've lived in Terrebonne for almost my entire life. Definitely going to try this now. You earned a subscription, fellow cajun.

You make things very simple, thanks a lot.

WOW! It looks incredible! Thanks!! :-) Can't wait to try it!:-)

Ninja, I tried your shrimp fettuccini last week and it was delicious. My fam loved it.💞

Told da wife I’d like to have her fix dis one. We be only approx 90 miles from ya in Alex. Really enjoy all your videos, stay safe and keep da family safe also, prayers sent your way! And as always great video!

I followed everything to the T except I didn't have green onions and I skipped the teaspoon of hot sauce. It is BOMB! I never had jambalaya w/ pasta. A few of my noodles were crunchy from baking, but that was expected. This recipe makes ALOT for just my fiancé and I. We really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the recipe my family love’s it!

Great recipe/vid....I love the farfalle pasta in mine !

Look forward to making this over the weekend 😎

Been cookin this for years but never knew what it was called sha! Merci!

This looks bomb!

When that last pork chunk fell i jumped 😂😂🤣 Looks so delicious

I love this recipe and i do this recipe at least once or twice a week. Its sooo delicious and i had got me a pot like that oh man will be delicious even more. Simple. Easy. and of course Delicious. 🤤

Thanks for all you do but especially this one... Pastalya all time favorite food!

🥇

Made this tonight! Well worth the effort and time….so very good! I just wish I could Pi-yaaaahhhh my veggies!

Yassss I'm gonna have to make this

Been making this since first video.....family loves it!!! We substitute Shrimp for pork!!! Pi-yahhhhhh!!!!

Thanks for sharing, I'll try this but will probably add mushrooms to it.

I love Browning sauce!💜💜

Hey brother love the channel and all the videos. I’m gonna make this pastalaya this evening for my boys and I was curious do you have an actual recipe somewhere that I can print out?

I met your sweet kids at the pool in Youngsville. They told me about you, and I made this recipe for the first time today for a friend who just had a baby. Love the show, and I have subscribed. I think the kids have been promoted to Marketing Managers :) Keep up the great work -- Pi-Yahh!

Looks delicious

Yaaaaay another video 💜😁🙋🏾‍♀️🔥🤩

“There we go, break that bottom.” Lol you know it’s gone be good!

Dude you gotta get a show on foodtv. You’re more entertaining & you cook stuff people actually eat (as opposed to squid ink). Stay safe - your neighbor in Covington

My man you seize to amaze me with your food! I love following your recipes and so does my family! I really want to make this buy for a work pot luck shall I just double everything?

I made this and I loved it

Looks good

What is your favorite smoked sausage? And does it change depending on what you are making?

Awesome recipe!!@

Ok. I was thinking about doing this for Halloween. How would I double it in the oven? I was thinking brown everything and split it between 2 foil pans with lids or aluminum foil?

Great video!!!!!!

Wanna see you do some cooking on the large black pots outside using the propane, jambalaya, pastalaya, gumbos, and sauces

Nice. I do enjoy your videos. Do you have an easy make-your-own pasta? Or alternative to pasta? Kinda hard to get that at the shops right now. Australia.

Where do I find that support button Cajun Ninja? I'm one of your biggest fans I've made so many of your recipes love all your work and your videos

Great video. One question. I need to make a larger amount so would you double all of the ingredients? I can judge the amount of seasonings, meat and vegetables I need to use. I don't have a problem with them, only the amount of water for lets say 2 lbs of pasta. Not sure if you have a water to pasta ratio that you use like you do for rice. Again great video, I have watched almost all of your videos. I actually use about 10 of your recipes on a regular basis.

Jason, can I substitute 3 1/2 cups of beef broth for the bullion cubes and water?

We made this it is absolutely 😋😋

Tried it during the Big Freeze great recipe

Do you have this written down any where!! I wanna make it

I’ve been making your pastalaya since your first video! It’s spot on, and have gotten nothing but compliments every time I make it! I use quite a bit more hot sauce than you, but that’s my preference.

Man o man, throwing it down Ninja!

yooooo imma ragin cajun too🤟🏾🔥

When that beat dropped I thought Tyrone was coming out 🤣🤣

Cookbook cookbook cookbook now when will there be one?

About how many does this size batch feed?

@thecajunninja If i were to double this, how much water and Pasta would you add? I don't think just straight doubling it would work so what is your recommendation?

How long does it really take to chop up your veggies? I love the PI-YAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

I made something similar but I put chicken and pepper 💜 i can't eat pork ....just shared @Cajun ninja ..i uses Goya. We gave a Greek dish like that shared 💜💜💜💜piyahhh

The pork rib, I believe, is absolute key.

Bomb!

What size pot?

How many does this recipe typically serve? What do you think about doubling and using a big magnalite pot?

How long would you recommend cooking on the stove instead of the oven?

What size pot do you need for this recipe?

I made my own recipe of this. Wow is it good

What do you put the oven on???? I didn't catch it.

How long would you be able to cook this on the stove for

What size Dutch oven is that?

How many servings will this recipe yield?

Hey dude. Have you used chicken bullion instead of beef? Just curious about the taste?

Ça c'est bon...se lavi a😋💃👌✨👍💕💫🙌!!!

If my oven is broke can I just simmer for like 20 minutes?and will it be about the same
