Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 12 oz andouille sausage
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 12 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 2 celery stalks
• 4 garlic cloves
• 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 green onions
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Slice the andouille sausage into thin rounds. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add both to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Dice the onion, green bell pepper, and celery, and mince the garlic cloves. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cajun seasoning, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage and chicken to the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring the spaghetti is coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Chop the green onions and parsley. Sprinkle them over the jambalaya spaghetti just before serving for a fresh, flavorful garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Jambalaya Spaghetti!
