Cajun Pasta Recipe
Invest 5 minutes of prep time, and this one-pot Cajun Pasta cooks itself. Studded with chicken and Andouille sausage and infused with a creamy tomato sauce, this is one of my favorite recipes (and easiest dinner recipes!) for weeknights.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the seasoning, in a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Set aside.
2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onion, peppers, and celery and cook until softened. Add Andouille sausage and cook until browned.
3
Stir in garlic until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add chicken and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring often, until chicken is browned and cooked through.
4
Stir in pasta, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Simmer uncovered until pasta is al dente and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about ⏱️ 20 minutes.
