Directions
- Thaw crawfish, if frozen. In a Dutch oven cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain; return to Dutch oven.
- Meanwhile, for sauce, in a large saucepan cook sweet pepper, onion, and garlic in hot butter about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, ground red pepper, and salt. Add half-and-half all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Remove from heat; stir in crawfish and parsley. Pour sauce over fettuccine, tossing gently to coat. Spoon mixture into an ungreased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Makes 8 servings.
