This month’s selection is Crawfish Fettuccine.<br />

I had this delicious dish when I attended my brother’s wedding in<br />

Canton, Mississippi. The event took place in September of 2004<br />

with hurricane Francis coming ashore. I almost didn’t get out of<br />

Houston because of the major rain that hit here as well as Canton.<br />

We attended a wedding luncheon in a truly old southern home<br />

where the meal was prepared by some sweet southern women.<br />

There was so much southern charm and the food was outstanding.<br />

After asking for the recipe I received it in the mail by one of those<br />

sweet ladies.<br />

With crawfish season here I thought I would share. Enjoy!<br />

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE<br />

2 sticks butter<br />

3 onions chopped<br />

2 bell peppers chopped<br />

3 stalks celery, chopped<br />

3# peeled crawfish tails or Shrinp<br />

3 cloves garlic, minced<br />

1 TBS. chopped parsley<br />

1/2 cup flour<br />

1 pint Half & Half<br />

1# Velveeta, cubed<br />

24 oz. Fettucine<br />

Chicken broth<br />

1/4 cup chopped jalapenos (optional)<br />

Melt butter and saute onions, peppers & celery until tender. Add<br />

crawfish, simmer 10 min. stirring occasionally. Add garlic, parsley,<br />

flour and cream - mix well. Simmer on low heat 30 min. stirring<br />

occasionally. Add cheese & stir until melted.<br />

Meanwhile cook noodles in chicken broth and creole seasoning,<br />

drain and combine with sauce. Pour into 2 - 3 quart greased casseroles.<br />

Bake uncovered @ 300 degrees 20 minutes or until heated.<br />

Freezes well - 18-20 servings.<br />

If you like a little extra kick add jalapenos to sauce. Also if you freeze<br />

it and it seems stiff or dry when you reheat it, add about 1/4 cup<br />

Brandy or any liquid will return texture.<br />

TIP: If using frozen crawfish be sure to thaw and rinse before adding<br />

to mixture.<br />
