One word -- delicious! This creamy dish will leave them begging for more. The crawfish and Cajun seasonings give a new twist to fettuccine. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 green bell pepper, chopped |
3 stalks celery, chopped |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
1 pound peeled crawfish tails |
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese food |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning |
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste |
1 pound dry fettuccine pasta |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in butter until onions are tender. Stir in flour, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in crawfish. Cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
2. Stir in the processed cheese, half-and-half, Cajun seasonings, and cayenne pepper. Cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stir noodles into crawfish mixture; pour into prepared dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
