Recipe: Spaghetti Jambalaya / Pastalaya
Description: One of my favorite meals, is Jambalaya.  This is a twist to the original recipe, but very enjoyable.  As always, cajun cooking is a slower process, not to be rushed.  Part of the fun is cooking outside, with friends, talking and laughing waiting on the meal.
Ingredients: [{"text": "2 pound(s) chopped pork roast"}, {"text": "1 pound(s) smoked sausage"}, {"text": "2 large sweet onions"}, {"text": "1 large green bell pepper"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon(s) garlic chopped"}, {"text": "1 package(s) spaghetti"}, {"text": "- tony chacheries creole seasoning"}, {"text": "- garlic salt to taste"}, {"text": "3 - celery stalks chopped"}, {"text": "- cooking oil to brown meat"}, {"text": "- chicken broth"}]
Instructions: Cut pork and smoked sausage into bite size pieces. Season pork with Tony Chacheries Creole Seasoning.
Add enough cooking Oil to bottom of large heavy pot to brown meat.  When oil is hot add Chopped Pork.  Stir pork occasionally as it browns.
When pork is browned, drain off some of oil.  Add chopped Smoked Sausage, brown.
Chop both onions, celery, and bell peppers add to meat stir.  Decrease heat to medium. Cover with heavy pot lid, stir occasionally will cooking.  Continue to cook until onions turn clear and liquids cook out of onions and peppers. This is a slower process but well worth the wait for the flavor that is produced.
Add garlic, garlic salt stir.
Add enough chicken broth or beef broth to cover meat about 1 1/2 inches, bring to a boil.   Reduce heat to allow water to be absorbed some and form a broth.
Add Spaghetti noodles stir, cover and let noodles absorb all of the liquid.  Stir occasionally.
We always served this recipe with White beans and corn bread.
To make original Jambalaya, substitute uncooked White Rice for the Spaghetti noodles.
