Helpful Tips to make One-Pot Jambalaya Pasta:
- You can prep the ingredients in advance.
- Adapt the recipe to fit your taste by adding more cajun seasoning if you like even spicier cajun flavor. Add an additional 2 ounces of cream cheese if you like it creamier. Or omit the cheese and sauce all together to make it dairy-free. You can even substitute some tomato sauce for the cheese to add additional flavor.
- You can omit the shrimp if desired. Simply leave it out of the recipe.
- This pasta tastes great (if not better) as leftovers so save some for later and reheat just prior to serving.
