Description

Imagine a vibrant dish where the rustic charm of jambalaya meets the comforting embrace of creamy pasta. This reimagined classic takes the beloved flavors of Louisiana and transforms them into a luscious, unforgettable meal. At its heart is a rich and savory sauce, where smoky sausage and succulent shrimp mingle in a symphony of taste.

Each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures – the slight chew of the sausage, the delicate tenderness of the shrimp, all bathed in a velvety creaminess that coats the palate. The real magic lies in the peppery kick that dances on your tongue. A carefully balanced blend of spices brings warmth and depth, elevating the dish from simple comfort food to an exciting culinary experience.

It's a flavor profile that's both familiar and surprising, inviting you to savor every mouthful. The aroma alone is enough to transport you to a bustling kitchen, filled with the promise of a hearty and satisfying meal. To lighten things up and add a fresh twist, this creamy jambalaya sauce is traditionally served over zucchini noodles, though other pasta alternatives can be used.

The zucchini noodles, with their mild flavor and satisfying bite, provide the perfect counterpoint to the richness of the sauce. They add a touch of freshness and lightness, preventing the dish from feeling too heavy. The result is a perfectly balanced meal that's both indulgent and wholesome.

This creamy jambalaya pasta is a delightful exploration of flavors and textures, offering a unique and satisfying twist on a classic favorite. It's a dish that's sure to impress, whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special meal to share with friends and family. The vibrant colors, the enticing aromas, and the incredible flavors all come together to create a truly memorable dining experience.

It's comfort food elevated, a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into something extraordinary.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the kielbasa, peel and devein the shrimp, and dice the bell pepper to prepare the ingredients.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Cook the sausage, shrimp, and peppers in the oil for about 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
    3.
    Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then remove ½ cup of liquid and whisk in the xanthan gum. Slowly whisk the thickened liquid back into the pan, allowing it to gently simmer and thicken.
    4.
    Stir in the tomato paste and all seasonings while keeping the heat on a low simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, enhancing the flavors.
    5.
    Use a vegetable peeler to create wide noodles from a large zucchini. Aim for approximately 2 oz of raw zucchini noodles per person.
    6.
    Turn off the heat but leave the pan on the stove. Toss the zucchini noodles into the jambalaya sauce, cover with a lid, and steam for 1-2 minutes until al dente. Serve hot and enjoy!
