One Pot Pastalaya Recipe

Blog· Food and Drinks

Every night the same question is asked in my house, “what’s for dinner?” I’ve learned over the past year that if I don’t have a plan for dinner, we will end up eating unhealthy food and contemplate for over an hour what in the world we are going to order. I love cooking at home and it kills me to eat out during the week when I know I am fully capable of whipping up a delicious meal in minutes.

What it all comes down to is preparation. If we know what we are eating each night, I can make sure our kitchen is stocked with the proper ingredients so we can cook whatever we please. I try my best to keep my kitchen fully stocked with staples items such as pasta, meat, cheese, bread, milk, eggs, etc because I know with those items I can make all sorts of meals.

We tend to eat the same meals every single week so I’m on a mission to change things up this year. My husband’s family is from Louisiana so we love to eat cajun food and dishes with lots of spices and flavor. We love jambalaya and I love pasta so we decided to make a twist and make Pastalaya. Pastalaya is a popular version of jambalaya made with pasta instead of rice. This is a great way to change up your weekly meals and add something new – the best part is it’s all made in one pot!
