Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
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 9×13 inch casserole dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the dish is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Step 4
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.
