California Pizza Kitchen Jambalaya Pasta Recipe

This jambalaya pasta from CPK has everything—spice, smoky sausage, juicy shrimp, and a creamy sauce that binds it all together!
Here are my fave tips for getting this just right:
I always go for a well-balanced Cajun seasoning. Check the ingredients for too much salt.
The sauce should be smooth and slightly thick but not overly heavy. A mix of crushed tomatoes, cream, and just the right amount of seasoning gives it a bold but not overwhelming kick.
Pasta choice matters. A sturdy noodle like penne holds onto the sauce well!
Tossing the cooked pasta straight into the pan lets it soak up all that flavor. Letting it sit for a couple of minutes before serving makes it even better!
