Directions Louisiana Crawfish Ya-Ya Pasta
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil, stir in the egg noodles 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 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, green pepper, garlic, and parsley. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning, simmer 5 minutes longer.
Pour in the heavy cream, mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese, stir until the cheese has melted. Toss the pasta with the crawfish sauce and green onions, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar cheese.
