JAMBALAYA “PASTA”
Based on an old chain restaurant favorite this is a tasty way to get plenty of fat and protein in a hearty pasta dish! Konjac noodles can be a great source of volume and are a solid vehicle for flavor as they don’t have much on their own! This one definitely brings the spice!
INGREDIENTS:
Miracle Noodles Konjac Ziti, full bag. (You can use any variety here that you like!)
8oz Chicken breast
4oz Andouille sausage (You can substitute a less spicy smoked sausage if desired!)
4oz Mushrooms, sliced
2oz Onions, chopped
2oz Green peppers, chopped
1 TBSP Avocado oil
1/2 Cup Heavy cream
2oz Pepper jack cheese, grated
1 TBSP Grated Parmesan
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Garlic powder
1/2 Tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 Tsp Black pepper
RECIPE STEPS:
Prepare the noodles by rinsing them well under cold water for a minute, strain, and then dry on a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Chop the chicken into 1/2 inch pieces and slice the sausage into 1/2 inch rounds.
Heat 1/2 TBSP of oil over medium high heat and add the chicken. Sauté until it begins to brown and then add sausage slices. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
Remove meat from the pan with a slotted spoon and add the remaining oil.
Add pepper and onion. Cook until it begins to soften then add the mushrooms and sauté together for 4-5 minutes.
Lower heat to medium and return the meat to the pan. Add the heavy cream and all seasonings. Bring to a simmer then add the grated pepper jack.
Stir until cheese is melted and well incorporated. Serve with 1/2 TBSP of grated Parmesan on top and ENJOY!
