One Pot Cajun Pastalaya - A Jambalaya Pasta
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds smoked pork sausage
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 1/2 tsp creole seasoning, divided
- 1 1/2 cups seasoning blend*
- 32 oz. chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 12 oz. fettuccine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- fresh parsley for topping
Instructions
- Slice sausage. Brown in a large dutch oven pot. Remove from pan. Repeat with any remaining sausage.
- While sausage browns, chop chicken into 1 inch pieces and season with 1 tsp creole seasoning.
- After removing sausage, brown chicken for about 8 minutes stirring to brown all sides. Add seasoning blend and season with 1/2 tsp creole. Continue browning with chicken for about 10 more minutes. Once chicken is browned, add sausage back to pot.
- Add chicken broth and water and season with 1 tsp creole seasoning. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add fettuccine. Spread fettuccine across and over meat making sure it is covered with liquid. Continue boiling uncovered, stirring as pasta cooks for about 15 minutes. Liquid will reduce as pasta cooks.
- Add 1 cup of heavy cream and stir. Cook another 5 minutes. Taste and season if necessary.
Notes
*Seasoning Blend is a great shortcut. It's chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and parsley and found in the frozen foods.
Don't have seasoning blend where you live? Just chop 1 onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 stalks celery.

I am confused on the amount of seasoning blend…Is 1 1/2 teaspoons correct? For the amount of ingredients this seems a very little amount of seasoning blend.
Sorry about that Pat! It’s 1 1/2 cups! Or just use 1 onion, 1 bell pepper, and some celery.
How many people does this feed One Pot Cajun Pastalaya recipe feed?
Hi Tracy, it is enough for about 6.
Sooooooo good
Hi! I made this revipe on Sunday! I had a taste for pastalaya! Had to modify quantities due to only having 6 ozs of fettuccini noodles on hand. I used smoked sausage, smoked pork roast & bbq’d chicken breasts. Used whole milk because I didn’t have heavy cream and a little corn starch slurry…..it went over great with the hubby, son and grandtwins (who are picky eaters)…..not a bite was left!
When do you add the sausage back?
Sorry about that! I fixed the directions. You add it back once chicken is finished cooking.
