CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE

I have lived in this close-knit community all my life and enjoy cooking Cajun dishes, especially those with seafood. Along with a green salad and garlic bread, this dish is great for family gatherings. The recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger group, and if you'd like it less spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping it. -Carolyn Lejeune, Welsh, Louisiana

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
2 sticks butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1 pound package Kraft jalapeno cheese
2 pounds crawfish
1 (16 oz) large bag broad egg noodles

Steps:

Cook noodles according to package directions.
In a large saucepan, melt one stick of butter; sauté the onion and bell pepper. Add in the mushroom soup. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
In a large glass bowl, combine 1 stick of butter, milk, flour and salt. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and stir. Microwave again for 2 more minutes then add cheese. Let the cheese melt and then stir the mixture.
In the large saucepan, combine both of the mixtures together and add the crawfish. Cook on medium to low heat for 20 minutes. Add the noodles. Mix together and serve.

Tips:

Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
Use Fresh Seafood: For the best flavor, use fresh crawfish tails. If you can't find fresh crawfish, frozen crawfish tails can be substituted.
Cook the Crawfish Properly: Crawfish should be cooked until they are bright orange and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to make the dish.
Use a Good Quality Fettuccine: The fettuccine should be cooked al dente so that it still has a slight bite to it.
Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.
