- Roast chicken for 45-50 minutes. Medium rough chop first 6 ingredients. Pour chicken liquid into dutch oven or large pot. Add first 6 vegetable ingredients. Saute on medium low 10-15 minutes in chicken liquid with cajun seasoning. Careful not to burn. Puree tomatoes in processor or hand squeeze. Don't wear a white shirt. Add tomatoes, sriracha, hot sauce, butter, sugar, salt, pepper. Simmer on low like barely bubbling for about an hour to an hour and a half. Adjust seasoning
- Cook pasta, fresh pasta takes only like 3-4 minutes. Taste as you cook if you overcrowd one pot could take longer.
- Chop chicken into chunks add to sauce when sauce is done. Turn off heat. Chicken is already cooked don't overcook. Or serve on the side.
- To save time start the chicken and sauce at the same time and just add the chicken liquids to the sauce when the chicken is done.
