Cajun Crawfish Ya-Ya Pasta from Louisiana
Ingredients List
-
¾ (12 ounce) package egg noodles
-
½ cup butter
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
¼ cup minced green bell pepper
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
-
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste
-
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
⅓ cup sliced fresh mushrooms (Optional)
-
⅓ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
In the meantime, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, parsley, and garlic in the butter until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Stir in 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and mushrooms; mix until the cheese melts. Add the cooked noodles and green onions, stirring until everything is well combined. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese before serving.
