We are asking you to send your favorite recipe with a little story behind<br />

it. Each month we will select one or two recipes to featured in our<br />

newsletters. If you have a photo of the dish or who makes it special send<br />

along with the recipe to<br />

recipes@krenekprinting.com<br />

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

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

Mississippi. The event took place in September of 2004 with hurricane<br />

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

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

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

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

much southern charm and the food was outstanding. After asking for<br />

the recipe I received it in the mail by one of those 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 crawfish,<br />

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

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

cheese & stir until melted.<br />

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

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 it<br />

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

or any liquid will return texture.<br />

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

mixture.<br />
