Pastalaya is a creative fusion of pasta and jambalaya. I found out I was allergic to wheat before ever having the chance to eat this incredible dish. I love a good jambalaya and knew I needed to recreate a gluten-free version of pastalaya. This is a delightful twist on a traditional Cajun favorite. Get ready to savor every bite!
