This spicy jambalaya pasta is a delicious twist on a popular Southern dish. I love that the vegetables, shrimp, and Andouille sausage are roasted for easy preparation and intense flavor. It’s all tossed with pasta, instead of rice, for a fun and flavorful meal any night of the week.

This recipe was incredible!! Truly awesome – the flavors were perfection. Excellent spice – just enough to feel a little burn but not so much I need a glass of milk on stand-by. I wouldn’t change a thing!! Can’t wait to make it again. I’m so glad I found this! I used Banza chickpea linguine pasta as I am gluten free and it didn’t take away from the profile at all. Great combo. Thanks again!!!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your feedback Bridgette.
