Converting Poche Jamb to Pastalaya
Posted on 7/7/26 at 7:26 pm

His recipe calls for 3 cups of rice and 6 cups of broth/water. How many lbs of pasta and cups of broth/water should I use? Using rotini if that matters. TIA

1 cup of rice is equal to 1/2lb of pasta according to chatgpt. I usually do a quart of liquid per lb of pasta but I like my pastalaya to still be wet when done.

I use extra broth then drop a little roux in at the end to thicken it. My wife doesn’t like rice so I often do pastalaya.
You can also cook the pasta separately and add it in, but I like cooking it together.

Go find the jambalaya calculator online, there are instructions for pastalaya

I use 4 cups of water to 1 pound of pasta.
So just use the jambalaya recipe and figure out your pasta amount based on the amount of water in the recipe.
Everything stays the same in the recipe except for the rice/pasta.
If the recipe has 6 cups of water, then you would use 1.5 pounds of pasta.

3 cups of rice is 1.2 lbs of rice.
So you should use 1.2 lbs of pasta.
You should use 1.25 quarts of liquid per lb of pasta.
So 1.2 lbs of pasta X 1.25 quarts of liquid = 1.5 quarts = 6 cups.
Or just use the Jambalaya Calculator downloadable HERE.
Don't put roux in jambalaya.
ETA: Or pastalaya.

It's not jambalaya, it's pastalaya and the roux is only used as as a thickener if there is too much liquid left in the pot. Use corn starch or eat soup if you like, but I always have a roux made and a spoonful to thicken the liquid does not change the flavor.
