JAMBALAYA PASTA WITH PENNE, CHICKEN, SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE

Steps:

• Fill a large, 1-gallon stock pot with a pasta insert, 3/4 full with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and season with salt to taste. Place the penne in the salted water and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta until nearly al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• While the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, swirl the pan to evenly coat with the oil. Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the shrimp in the pan and sear for 1 minute per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add another tablespoon of the olive oil to the saute pan and season the chicken breast with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for 3 minutes, turning to ensure even browning. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside with the seared shrimp.
• Place the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the saute pan and add the sausage, onions and bell peppers. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly caramelized and the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to the pan and scrape with a spoon to remove any browned bits that have formed in the bottom of the pan, about 30 seconds. Add the diced tomatoes, fresh thyme, the remaining tablespoon of Essence and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes. Return the shrimp and chicken to the pan, as well as the nearly al dente pasta and the reserved 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Continue to cook the sauce and pasta, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp and chicken are cooked through, the pasta is al dente and most of the pasta cooking water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the basil and Parmesan. Toss to combine and serve while hot.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CHUCK'S PASTA JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a saute or frying pan brown chicken and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Don't brown if using leftover bird, but you may want to season the meat. Cut meat into bite sized pieces. Brown the sliced smoked sausage and pour off fat. In the pot, saute onions, garlic, pepper and celery in oil until onions begin to turn transparent.In the same pot, while sauteeing the 'trinity' add the tomato paste and let it pince, meaning let it brown a little. This adds depth of flavour by browning the tomato paste a little; the sugar in the paste begins to carmelize, deepening the flavour and colour. Keep it moving so that it browns but doesn't burn. Once the vegetables are translucent and the tomato paste achieves sort of a red mahogany colour, deglaze the pan with about 2 cups of the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to mix up any browned bits. Stir until smooth, making sure the sauteed vegetables, paste and stock are combined thoroughly. It should be fairly thick. Add the Creole seasoning, tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook over low-medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the meat and/or seafood and cook another 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the seafood. Add the rest of the stock, check seasonings and stir in the rice, combining thoroughly. Cook for about 20 - 25 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked through. Check seasoning then turn down heat to low-medium and let the sauce thicken a bit, with the pot uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients. When the jambalaya has thickened and has reached the right consistency, it's done.
