Spicy Crawfish Pasta


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 340

Ingredients

1 package rotini (spiral) pasta
1 stick butter or margarine
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (1-pound) package crawfish tails
1 pint half and half
6 - 8 ounces jalapeño-Jack cheese
salt, black pepper, and red pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter. Add onions and garlic; sauté approximately 3 minutes. Add crawfish and sauté another 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add half-and-half. Reduce heat to low and add slices of jalapeño-Jack cheese to the sauce. Stir sauce frequently until the cheese is thoroughly melted (sauce will be slightly lumpy). Season to taste, but go lightly with the red pepper; the jalapeños in the cheese make the sauce very spicy.

In a large casserole dish, combine drained, cooked pasta and crawfish sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve while hot. (Can be prepared ahead and reheated in oven at 350°.)


Fun Fact: The world’s heaviest onion weighed 16.52 pounds and was grown by John Sifford of Halesowen, West Midlands, UK, and recorded on September 16, 2005. Sifford beat the ten-year-old record of 15 pounds 15 1/2 ounces at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show.
