Ragin' Cajun Fettuccini

We found this recipe in a Paula Deen magazine yesterday and just had to try it. It was super easy and I had most of the ingredients on hand!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped celery

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1 teaspoon cajun seasoning

1 1/2 cups half and half

1 (8-oz) package mexican Velveeta

2 (14-oz) crawfish tails

1 (16-oz) box fettuccini cooked and kept warm

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic; sauté for 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. Add flour and Cajun seasoning; cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in half and half; cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Add cheese, stirring until cheese is melted. Add crawfish, and cook until warmed through. Serve over fettuccini.
