Ingredients

• 0.75 - 12 Ounces (oz) package egg noodles
• 0.5 - Cups butter
• 0.5 - Cups onion, minced
• 0.25 - Cups green bell pepper, minced
• 2 - Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 1 - Clove garlic, minced
• 1 - 16 Ounces (oz) package crawfish tails, peeled
• 1 - Tablespoons (tbsp) Cajun seasoning blend, seasoned
• 0.75 - Cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 - Cups heavy cream

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, bell pepper, parsley, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Add 0.5 cups of the Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Incorporate the cooked noodles and green onions into the sauce, stirring until well combined.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 0.25 cups of Cheddar cheese over the pasta before serving. Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly, then serve hot.
