Jambalaya Pasta With Crawfish and Sausage
This Jambalaya Pasta with Crawfish and Sausage recipe gives you all of the authentic flavors of your New Orleans fave, all wrapped in a cheesy pasta dish.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 pound andouille sausage sliced
- 1/2 pound cooked crawfish tails (can sub small shrimp)
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 2 bell peppers (any color) chopped
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning blend
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken bone broth (use 1 1/2 cups if using low carb pasta)
- 8 ounces low carb elbow pasta *See Notes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces Montery Jack cheese shredded
- 4 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sausage, onions, celery, and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, and the onions turn translucent about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the bone broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Taste and add Cajun seasoning if desired. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, then cover skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer for 15 minutes (some low carb pasta may require longer), stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking. Add the crawfish, recover, and cook an additional 2 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the crawfish are warm.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and broil until cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
- Top with chopped green onions.
Notes
Can substitute regular pasta if not low carb
