Jambalaya Pasta & Creamy Creole Sauce

Chef Chris took everything that he loved about that old Creole classic Jambayala and combined it with his love for pasta. This dish has that same juicy diced chicken, spicy Andouille sausage, plump shrimp, peppers, and Creole spice, but mixed into tricolor rotini instead of the traditional rice. Finished with a creamy Creole rosé sauce, this is Cajun flavor meets Italian techniques. In Chef’s world, the busier the pasta the better and this is as busy and flavorful as you can get! Chef highly recommends heating this meal in the microwave.
