shite I didn't have the latest version.
quote:

The liquid should be about 1.25 quarts per pound of pasta. The exact amount will vary between 1 quart per pound of pasta and 1.5 quarts per pound. How much you use will dependi on how soft you like your pasta, what type of pasta you use, and how long you keep the pot covered.
was not in my version

thanks assholes

I use a 32oz box of broth for each pack of pasta and it works every time. Throw a small can of cream of mushroom in there to thicken it up a lil bit, too. You can always add liquid, so don't get too crazy with it. Add it if you need it.

Stadium rat, much thanks again for the jambalaya calculator. I'm happy that you are using the same recipe from the Gonzales thread and have adapted it to pastalaya. I've been wanting to make some pastalaya, so this is perfect.

Thanks. I'm going to talk to an interesting guy from St. James Parish tomorrow that claims he knows the guy that created the first pastalaya in the area 25 years ago.

Those guys from St. James and the River Parishes put "Cream of Everything" in their pastalaya. A little different than the traditional Gonzales flavor, but still very, very good. Thats the beauty of pastalaya. Its really hard to mess up and tastes good no matter whats in it.
