Spicy Cajun Pasta

Leave a comment

I tried a new one-pot recipe last week and the results were… pretty good. The recipe is called Spicy Cajun Pasta. It’s one of those recipes where you throw everything into a big stockpot and 30-45 minutes later, you’re done cooking. So it’s very easy to prep and it doesn’t leave you with a bunch of dishes to wash afterwards.

 
The food came out looking and tasting great, especially when topped with Parmesan cheese. I personally felt like there was too much meat in it though. Even my fiancé agreed and he damn near throws a fit when I make a dish that doesn’t include enough meat. This recipe includes chicken, andouille sausage and shrimp. Out of the three, the chicken is the most useless as you can barely taste it. So if I were to make this dish again, I would only include the sausage and shrimp.

Italian Wonderpot (No Meat)

3 Comments

Out of all of the new things that I’ve cooked this year, this so-called “Italian Wonderpot” is definitely in the running for my number one favorite dish. I was really proud of myself with this one. Although it was incredibly easy to make since it only required me to slice a few onions and garlic cloves, it’s hands down one of the best tasting outcomes that I’ve had this year. All you have to do is put all of the ingredients into a stockpot and stir occasionally. You’ll definitely have leftovers for a few days, but these leftovers taste great! It’s like the spices really seep in after it’s had some time to sit. One notable thing about this recipe is that it does not have any meat in it. This is something that my fiancé was kind of worried about (he can’t imagine a dinner meal without any type of meat), but he LOVED it. You definitely won’t feel like the recipe is missing anything even without the meat. But you can always add some diced chicken breasts if you want to add something new. After I’ve made this recipe as is a few times, I’ll probably try adding chicken just to see how it turns out.
