Cajun Pasta

Family recipe: Cajun Pasta (recipe #263). Ingredients: 1 bag (3 lb) frozen chicken thighs, 1 package cooked bacon cut into bits, 1 package Cajun Polish sausage, usually frozen shrimp, penne pasta, and water as needed. Sauce: heavy cream, mozzarella (amount not specified), 3 bell peppers, 1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies, garlic salt, paprika, and Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning. Cook chicken in Instant Pot first. Add bacon, sausage, shrimp, water, and penne; cook pasta with the meats. Separately simmer sauce on low for at least 1 hour, blend with immersion blender, then combine meat, pasta, and sauce in a bowl. Mozzarella is included in the sauce; timing not specified. One of Janessa's favorites; kids will eat it. Meat-heavy; good for leftovers. Unspecified quantities are to taste. See recipe #263 for earlier-version notes.
