Instructions:
-
Begin by sautéing the yellow onions, green onions, bell pepper, and celery in a large skillet with butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
-
Once the vegetables are softened, sprinkle flour and chopped fresh parsley over the mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes, allowing the flour to cook and blend into the mixture.
-
Add the crawfish to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture. Let it cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Pour in the half-and-half and add the diced Velveeta cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
-
While the sauce simmers, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the crawfish sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the crawfish fettuccine mixture to a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the top of the casserole with grated Parmesan cheese, adding a deliciously cheesy crust to the dish.
-
Bake the crawfish fettuccine in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Crawfish Fettuccini hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
-
Enjoy the creamy, flavorful goodness of this Crawfish Fettuccini with your loved ones, savoring each bite of this indulgent dish! 🦐🍝
