  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. fettuccine pasta
  • ½ – ¾ cup pasta water
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup diced andouille sausage
  • 3 cups chopped yellow onion
  • ¾ cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded monterrey jack cheese
  • 24 oz. crawfish tails
  • 1 ½ teaspoons creole seasoning
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • green onions and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve ½ – ¾ cup of pasta water, drain, and toss with olive oil.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Add diced andouille sausage and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Stir in chopped yellow onion, chopped celery, and chopped green bell pepper. Cook for 7-10 minutes until softened, without browning the vegetables.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour, mixing it into the vegetable mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually pour in milk while stirring continuously until the mixture starts to thicken, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  8. Mix in shredded cheddar and monterrey jack cheese until fully melted.
  9. Add crawfish tails and the liquid from the packaging. Season with creole seasoning and cook for 5-8 minutes until the mixture is warmed through.
  10. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and combine well. Add the cooked fettuccine directly to the sauce and toss until the noodles are thoroughly coated.
  11. Serve the pasta topped with additional parmesan cheese, green onions, and parsley.
