Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 large onions, chopped
1 ½ cups chopped green bell pepper
½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 pound jalapeno cheese food (such as Velveeta® Mexican Mild), shredded
2 (16 ounce) packages cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
½ teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package fettuccini pasta

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and flour. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 8 minutes. Pour in the wine, half-and-half, and jalapeno cheese food. Bring to a simmer; add the crawfish tails and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Season with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the dish is bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  • While the crawfish is baking, fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccini and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Serve the crawfish over the hot pasta.
