  • 1 pound pork shoulder cubed

  • 2 stalks celery
  • 3 beef bouillon cubes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon Tony Chachere’s seasoning + more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup 10 oz
  • 3 ½ cups + ¼ cup water
  • 1 pound bow tie pasta

Instructions

  • Add cubed pork to the hot Dutch oven and let brown for 10 minutes on medium high heat, stirring every 3 minutes. Remove from Dutch oven.

  • Add in cream of chicken and meats and stir to combine
  • Add in water and stir to combine, bring to boil.
  • Add in pasta and stir to make sure all noodles are touching the liquid
  • Lower the fire to medium-high and cover the Dutch oven completely.
  • Let the pastalaya boil for 3 minutes, stir gently, and then cover and let boil for another 3 minutes. Continue this until pasta is al dente (about 10-12 minutes total).
  • Turn off fire, cover completely and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Dig in!!!
