Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crawfish Ya Ya Pasta Dish.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it's bubbling, add in the egg noodles and give them a gentle stir.
Step 3
Cook the noodles for about five minutes, or until they’re tender yet still have a delightful bite.
Step 4
Once done, drain them and set them aside, letting them rest while you prepare the flavorful sauce.

In a spacious skillet, melt some butter over medium heat, allowing it to sizzle just right.

Toss in the chopped onion, green bell pepper, fresh parsley, and minced garlic.
Step 7
Stir everything together and let it cook for about five minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

Next, stir in the crawfish tails along with a generous sprinkle of Cajun seasoning.
Step 9
Let this mixture simmer for another five minutes, giving the flavors a chance to mingle and develop into something truly delicious.

Now, it’s time to make it creamy! Pour in half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and the heavy cream, along with the optional mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 11
Stir everything together until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes luxuriously creamy.
Step 12
Finally, add the cooked egg noodles and sliced green onions to the skillet.
Step 13
Toss everything together gently, ensuring each noodle is coated in that rich, flavorful sauce.
