RICH & CREAMY CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP PASTA W/ CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the green onions (as much as you like--I usually just use a handful).
• Open the cheese and slice it in as many pieces as possible so it can melt easily.
• Set onions and cheese aside separately.
• It is a good idea at this point to start a large pot of boiling water, and it should be boiling by the time the sauce is done.
• To make the sauce: Melt stick of butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
• Add chopped onions.
• Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions look nicely cooked.
• Add the package of crawfish and let simmer for another few minutes.
• Add the cheese, and once it has started to melt, add the can of soup.
• Dash of salt if desired.
• You can turn the heat up to medium hi.
• Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted.
• If it is too thick, milk can be added to thin it out.
• Cover and turn heat back down to low.
• Stir occasionally so the sauce does not stick.
• Now just boil the pasta according to the package instructions.
• Sauce can be served over the pasta or mixed inches.
• If there are leftovers, I usually store it all mixed together.
• It reheats better that way.

CRAWFISH AND PASTA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil. Add the onion, peppers, and celery and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until soft. Add the cayenne pepper, oregano, and salt, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, toasting the flour to a light brown color. Add the hot water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer mixture for 10 minutes.
• As sauce simmers, cook the pasta, timing pasta to finish cooking at the same time as the sauce. Add the crawfish to sauce, and continue simmering for 5 minutes. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute more. Add cream and heat gently. Spoon crawfish mixture over orzo pasta in large pasta dishes.

CRAWFISH AND CREAM OVER PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Return to the pot and toss with the olive oil and reserved cooking liquid. Cover to keep warm.
• In a large saute pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Essence, salt, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the white wine and cook over high heat until nearly all evaporated. Add the cream lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced. Add the crawfish tails and cook, stirring, to warm through. Add the onions and parsley and cook for 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook until the pasta is warmed through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• Turn out into a serving bowl and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Serve.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

ALFREDO CRAWFISH WITH PENNE PASTA

Steps:

• melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once butter stops foaming, add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes. It's important to note, I said medium heat. I didn't say high or medium high. Butter is something you'll need to watch or you will ruin this dish before it begins. Add the thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper and Cajun seasoning.
• Add the flour and cook another 3 minutes until flour is incorporated and begins to make a light roux. Yes -- 1/2 LB of butter and 1 Tablespoon of all purpose flour CAN make a roux. It's basically a thickened butter. Roll with it --.
• Add heavy cream and bring to low simmer. Add the Parmesan and Velveeta cheese and stir until creamy. *Sure you can use other cheeses and I'm sure the results will be amazing. Make sure it is a good melting cheese or blend of cheeses. I used Velveeta here because I wanted it to be easy.
• Once the sauce is cooked to your desired thickness, add the chopped green onion and crawfish (thawed and patted dry) to the sauce.
• Serve over al dente penne pasta and garnish with fresh parsley.
