Rich & Creamy Crawfish Or Shrimp Pasta W/ Cheese Sauce

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen cooked crawfish, thawed (the crawfish can be substituted with 1 lb of shrimp, just make sure it is fully cooked)
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (any cream soup will work, i prefer campbell's cream of mushroom.)
  • green onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 (6 ounce) package kraft garlic cheese rolls (looks like a sausage link, sometimes hard to find, can use garlic powder and velveeta or similar)
  • salt
  • 1 (1 lb) package angel hair pasta or 1 (1 lb) package other pastas
  • 1/2-1 cup milk (optional)

Recipe

  • 1 chop the green onions (as much as you like--i usually just use a handful).
  • 2 open the cheese and slice it in as many pieces as possible so it can melt easily.
  • 3 set onions and cheese aside separately.
  • 4 it is a good idea at this point to start a large pot of boiling water, and it should be boiling by the time the sauce is done.
  • 5 to make the sauce: melt stick of butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
  • 6 add chopped onions.
  • 7 simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions look nicely cooked.
  • 8 add the package of crawfish and let simmer for another few minutes.
  • 9 add the cheese, and once it has started to melt, add the can of soup.
  • 10 dash of salt if desired.
  • 11 you can turn the heat up to medium hi.
  • 12 continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted.
  • 13 if it is too thick, milk can be added to thin it out.
  • 14 cover and turn heat back down to low.
  • 15 stir occasionally so the sauce does not stick.
  • 16 now just boil the pasta according to the package instructions.
  • 17 sauce can be served over the pasta or mixed inches.
  • 18 if there are leftovers, i usually store it all mixed together.
  • 19 it reheats better that way.
