Spicy Cajun Macaroni with Ground Chicken, Veggies & CheeseSpicy Cajun Macaroni with Ground Chicken, Veggies & Cheese — a 35-minute lunch recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 sticks celery

3 green bell peppers

0.68 kg ground chicken

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

425 g macaroni (elbow) pasta

¾ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 ½ (283 g) bags shredded carrots

3 (213 ml) cans tomato sauce

1 ½ medium yellow onions

Cajun seasoning

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim, seed, and small dice bell peppers. Place in a medium bowl.

Trim and small dice celery. Add to the bowl with the bell pepper.

Peel, halve, and small dice onions. Add to the bowl with the other veggies along with the carrots.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggies, chicken, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Add water, tomato sauce, and pasta to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer (while covered) until pasta is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Set aside.

When the pasta is done, add parsley, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

To serve, divide pasta between plates or bowls and sprinkle with cheese. Enjoy!
