    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!

    I know when I was 21 I went to Florida 4 times in one summer. I also know that most of us just do not get it when we are that age. With that being said give her credit for going to school and getting a degree. This is a challenging time for everyone, but we will get through it. My son gave me restless nights in his teens and early 20's. Today he is "The Cajun Ninja" on You Tube and Face Book with total between the two at a million followers. My point is sometimes we have to practice tough love, but look at how they eventually turn out.Now pick up that phone and call your daughter. Username Mike wrote this on Yahoo comments. Your dad is proud of you!

    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

    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
