Recipe is as follows
New Orleans Style Crawfish Pasta
What you'll need
12 oz package of Crawfish Tails
Rotini Pasta 16 oz box
32 ounces ( 2 pints) of heavy whipping cream
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Salted Butter 1 tablespoon
1 Green Onion Chopped
Fresh Parsley Chopped until minced
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Step 1 Prepare all seasonings
Chop Green onion into 3/16th's of and inch thick pieces
Chop a small amount of fresh Parsley until it is minced
Step 2 Boil Pasta
In a medium size pot with simmering hot water add the entire 16oz box of rotini pasta. It should take between 7 or 8 minutes to cook. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Consistency should be soft but VERYYY slightly firm. PLEASE taste pasta while your cooking to insure that you do not over cook it. NOONE wants gummy pasta.
Step 3 Once 8 minutes have passed, add pasta into strainer and rinse off with cold water. Once done add strainer back on top of pot and cover and let sit until it's ready to be used.
Cooking Tip- When cooking pasta or rice, IF you are not so sure whether it's done or not it's always good to take a fork and taste the pasta or rice so see if it's done or at the consistency that you want!
Step 4 Preheat fire to medium high heat. In a large pot add 1 heaping spoon (meaning over 1 tablespoon) of salted butter. Let sit until it melts and is at a slight simmer.
Step 5 Add 3/4 Cup Green Onion and 1/4 Cups Parsley and let saute for 4 minutes
Step 6 Add 12 ounces of Crawfish Tails and mix.
Step 7 Add 2 tablespoons of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and mix. Let simmer for about 4 minutes
Step 8 Add 32 ounces of heavy whipping cream. Stir for 10 seconds.
NOTE- take a spoon and taste to see if the flavor is just right. IF you feel there is not enough seasoning add 1/2 TEASPOON of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. Remember the flavor will increase once the sauce thickens so do not add too much of seasoning.
Step 10 Add Shredded Parmesan Cheese stir for 10 seconds and let cream mixture come to a boil. Let Cream mixture boil for 6 minutes OR until sauce thickens WARNING! Cream tends to rise at boiling point and will float over the pot so keep mixing the cream. If it rises too high then turn fire down ASAP. Do Not leave cream on the stove boiling. Monitor it at all times.
Step 11 Add 4 cups of Rotini Pasta into sauce. Mix and let simmer for 3 minutes.
Step 12 Serve HOT and enjoy
Troubleshooting- (Oil build up in pasta) Before I say this I have already made the necessary adjustments to the recipe shown above that will prevent this from happening. If your Crawfish pasta has oil grease build up an hour or several hours later after cooking. Decrease butter to 1 teaspoon.
Also if your pasta comes out gummy. To prevent this from happening you must follow the instructions given and taste the pasta while it is boiling. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I made this today for the family and it was DELICIOUS! the only thing I did different was use penne instead of rotini pasta. thanks so much for this recipe! it's become a staple in my recipe book :)
Ohh okay cool. Glad that the pasta turned out good! You're Welcome and Thank you soo much for leaving feedback I really appreciate it!
Man, look how far you’ve gone in 7 years. I just found the channel and I already love it!
Yeah you're right. I am happy to hear that you enjoy my channel. Thanks!
This is awesome! One of my all time favorite dishes. Thank you so much Charlie, you made my day!!!
Thank you my fellow New Orleans native! You're Welcome! This was my very first video released on this channel back in 2013. I have lots of other videos you can check out!
A friend just pointed me to your Channel, Charlie. If this is any indication of things to come, I think I'm going to absolutely love your channel.
I appreciate you for sharing information about my channel to others. This was my first video on TH-cam. Happy to hear that you enjoy my channel. Thanks David!!
I love following your recipes. This comes in handy when you have a family and trying to impress them with your cooking. Keep it up. ❤️
Happy to hear that you enjoy my recipes. Yes I sure will keep up the good work. Thanks a lot for the compliments!
I use alfredo sauce as well as heavy whipping cream, it comes out beaucoup creamy! I'm so glad to see a fellow New Orleans native making this idk what to do with myself lol bc (no offense) but the people from out of town be doing what they want to our food. I admire the creativity, but don't try to recreate our food and call it your own baby, it's not gon' work! lol...loved ya presentation Charie keep reppin' us well 😏
Oh okay cool that's not a bad idea using the alfredo sauce! :) Yes i know right! It's also good to hear from a New Orleans native like yourself! I'm always look forward to hearing from someone that's from the same area as i am! Yes i totally understand how you feel. They be adding fish, beef and corn into a gumbo like that doesn't belong. Then when you tell them something they wondering why we going off on them. They don't know about us New Orleans people. We don't play with our food especially our gumbo. Get it right or don't make it at all. Yes i sure will keep representing our city! Thanks so kuch for commenting!
Charlie Andrews Yesssss lawd you got me cryin' laughin' about that corn and all of that other stuff 😂 bc they be serious! They don't know poor babies lol I just be wanting to go off on them, but it's a lost cause lol...You did your thing tho with the video! I'm glad to see you doing well, keep it up...Do you plan on posting more videos anytime soon?
I go into detail about it in my Gumbo 101 video! Just type gumbo 101 in the search engine and the video will come up. When you get to the video go in the description box and look up number 7 understanding the ingredients! It will give you the video mark in which that part starts on! :) They say us Louisiana people know everything like of course we have some of the best food everrr lol Yes i just posted a video of chicken and dumplings about 2 days ago. As the holidays get closer I will be extremely busy so it will be hard for me to release videos!
You are a true hater at heart !!! (no offense)
AsaultWeaponKing Truth hurts, no hate if it isn’t made right...., if it’s made RIGHT then you get props for a good job....

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOOD! I did this today! I didn't have whipping cream, I had half and half. And I didn't have green onion and parsley, so I watered down white onion and parsley flakes and I got the wrong cheese lol (Italian style cheese) but still it's amazing! Thank you soooo much!
Excellent! Glad that the crawfish pasta came out good despite you not having some of the ingredients. Thanks so much for leaving feedback I really appreciate it! 🙂

Great job chef Ive looked through all your recipes and videos to see if you had a recipe for"Crab salad" could you make one please I need it
I appreciate the compliments. I will work on a recipe video for Crab salad in the near future. Thanks for the request!
Your crawfish pasta looks sooooo delicious! Na, I make a killer crawfish pasta but I have to say your pasta looks legit! I like mine baked like you suggested, it just adds a like something extra to the flavor. AnotherCharlie! Thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks Windy! You know everyone has their own way of making their own signature dish. Now this is my very first TH-cam video! You're welcome!
Great recipe! I just ordered 3 lbs of cajun craw fish tails from this awesome site I found online where I live. I'll be making fried craw fish with a cajun beer batter, craw fish Po' Boys & I will definitely be trying this dish out with my batch. I been looking for a good new craw fish pasta recipe to try. Only I was thinking of using fettucine pasta instead, cause that's what I have on deck. Will let you know how it comes out. Cheer!!!
Thank you! Fried Crawfish sounds good! :) Yes my recipe is a good one! Yes use any pasta you want! Also You can omit the parsley from this recipe! Yes let me know how it comes out!!!! :)
That was a very good video. I will try this . I'm from New Orleans and I've had Crawfish Pasta only a few times. People who cook it aren't willing to share it. LOL... Taste to damn Good!
Thank you! Oh okay cool. I'm from New Orleans also lol Yes true not many people share their crawfish pasta recipes. Yes it is good!
cooljoescott
thank you so much i am definatley trying this recipe
You're welcome! Let me know what the results are when you're done! :)
Charlie Andrews yes i will thank you so much for responding ;)
+GIRL BYE!!!! You're Welcome! :)
+Charlie “The Cook” Andrews i made this dish as promised and ate some a few mins ago i had to come on here and say thank you so much it was delicious... u are awesome!!!
GIRL BYE!!!! You're Welcome! Happy to hear that it was a success! :D
How much shredded cheese did you use? I saw it listed in the ingredients, but I didn't see you put it in the pot.
In the recipe I did not include the amount of Parmasean cheese. Add between 1/8 or 1/4 cups.
I’m going to make my own
Great. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
this looks so damn good and I don't even eat seafood
Right! Thanks alot!
Exact same way I fix mine, except I use cream of mushroom instead of half and half.
Oh wow! Cream of mushroom? I know that has some sodium in it! I'll stick with the heavy cream!
Nice job but I'm making mine with angle hair pasta:) yummy!!
Thanks! Angel hair works as well. 🙂
2nd time making this 1st time it was good , now i made a bigger pot with to many noodles lets hope it comes out as good as the 1st
R6Rell Good! Glad it came out good the first time! You made another pot but now you added too much noodles??? Yes Lets hope it comes out just as good as the first time lol. Next time just add a small amount of noodles at a time until you reached the desired amount. :) Are you from New Orleans!
Lol i had way to many noodles and the bottom was burnt , so i put it in a glass pan and just took the burnt parts out , Popped it in the oven ( I had no choice )should be done any minute now
Im from Houston,Tx
R6Rell OMG what did you do? You must've had your fire on too high or something. Yikes. lol Hope it doesn't taste burnt. Okay that should work but next time you have to keep a close eye out on it. Stir it every 1 to 2 minutes if you have too. Also turn your fire down when you add the pasta. Oh okay cool. Houston, Texas that's what's up!
😋😋😋😋😋
:)

Hi Chef Charlie! So you are a great cook because I really am not ever going to eat crawfish (not a seafood fan at all), but you made something I can't even think of eating look delicious ... I'm sure it must be tasty because it's such a popular thing to eat ... some day if I'm ever in New Orleans, I'll get drunk and try some crawfish :)
Hello Sue. I appreciate the compliments and that's good to hear. Thank you!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews You're welcome ... I just watching more of your videos today ... thank you so much for all the lessons I'm learning and ideas you spark ... have yourself a fantastically delicious day :)
Hi Sweetcake! Can I use mild Cheddar or even a Mozzarella in lieu of parmesan? I'm from Texas but I LOVE this Louisiana cooking!
Hello there! I would like you to refer to me as Charlie! Yes you can use mild cheddar! Good to hear that you enjoy Louisiana cooking. I have a new version of this recipe. I have provided the link below. th-cam.com/video/83S8xeR59Ok/w-d-xo.html
I don't think I ever had crawfish posta before but I sure wish I could some of yours Charlie i know it's delicious ...have you ever thought about making broccoli rice with cheese?
Did you know that this is my first video on here? lol Oh you gotta try the crawfish pasta man. It is delicious! :) I have thought about doing the broccoli and cheese but I wanted to add shrimp to it! Thanks!
Can you make beef tips with gravy & cabbage?
I already have a video on cabbage but I will work on the beef tips soon. Thanks!
Charlie do you have a video on how to make old fashion butter roll with pet milk sauce. Mrs. J. Clark
Hello there! No I currently don't have a recipe for that nor have I eaten it before. Sorry!
Do you have yo use green onion ? Or can I use the Louisiana seasoning that comes in the container ?
You don't have to use the green onion but I will warn u, it will affect the flavor slightly. Yes u can use Louisiana seasoning.
Can you make the crawfish bread like they have at the "Jazz Festival"?
I can't say that I can but I definitely make some really good crawfish bread!
Charlie Andrews I would love to see how you make crayfish bread
I made this recently and it was very very good! But while I was eating and it was cooling, I noticed a lot of grease was starting to form in my bowl. By three quarters of the way through, I went and scooped it out because there was so much. How can I keep that from happening without sacrificing flavor? I'm making it again tonight and hoping to keep that grease out of it this time. Help!
Hey Melanie! Thanks for your Feedback I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! Glad you brought this up because I should of explained it in this video. If there's too much oil left over, reduce the butter to 1 tablespoon or if you want even less add 1 teaspoon. Thank you very much for your comment. Let me know what the result is next time you make this recipe!
Hi Charlie will crawfish become tough like shrimp if you cook it too long or will it remain tender
No the crawfish will not become tough. I've never experienced that ever. ☺It will remain tender.
Can you make a spicy crawfish pasta ? For your next video
Not sure about my next video but for a future video absolutely!
Just to let people know in case they haven't noticed, and in case they prefer local seafood. Despite the name, Bernard's crawfish are not from Louisiana but from China!! Check the back of the package. Like your videos!
You're right about that! Bernards crawfish tails are from china. I noticed this long time ago. They do sell the local louisiana crawfish tails. They are different in size, texture, and flavor. They are also expensive and hard to find. There are two local brands who sell them.
What's your favourite? The chicken one, shrimp or crawfish? And I can't find creole seasoning here in the UK, what do you suggest I do?
I like all pastas! That's a difficult one to decide on! I would pick the Crawfish one since it is one of the first pastas I learned how to cook! As for seasonings just use the seasoning that is common in your area for seafood!
Google how to mix a cajun seasoning. It's really just a mix of other spices and flavors.

wow you been at this for a while my page is 10 years old
Yes. This is my very first video. lol
Hey Charlie do you have a recipe for Cajun frog legs and Gator chunks
Hello there! I don't have a recipe for either one. May try them out in the near future. Thanks for the request!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews ok looking forward to it Charlie thanks
Thanks Charlie looking forward to it waiting on it
I have a question to thicken the sauce? I will be using milk? Should I make a roux?
Yes, you can make a roux if you like.
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews thank you for your quick response. Your a big help.
@@davidmichael479 Not a problem!!
Do you have recipe using Mexican style velveta cheese?
I do not. Will work on something in a future video. Thanks for the request!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews Thanks for quick response. I have been following you for awhile, and enjoy your videos. I tasted a crawfish pasta at a function here in NOLA, and was told it was made with Mexican velveta cheese.
mine came out ok but I think I messed up somewhere. maybe I put too much creole seasoning
Wow I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Next time when you make this recipe just add less creole seasoning.
can you do a video on it?
Maybe soon!
I'm really serious I experimented with those two items a few months ago they didn't turn out exactly like I wanted them to so if you have a recipe can you share them with me or us please
Can you be more specific as to what items are you referring to?
Frogs legs and alligator tail chunks
300,000 subbies later🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
I can't believe how long ago this was. lol Thanks!
after watching this video I realize I'm not such a bad cook
ha ha ha ha right! :) Thanks so much for commenting!
Actually I meant to ask about this pasta, what about adding a little crabmeat??
Absolutely! This is my very first video on youtube!
Iona Williams When has a little crabmeat ever not made anything a bit better? ;)
10 years later
You found my first video! Yes, it was 10 years ago!! ha ha ha
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews I scrolled down
@@chrismartin4502 oh okay!! Ha ha
No! The crawfish has already been cleaned.
how many does this yield?
I would say about 4 to 5 servings!
youre right on the money my friend
Thanks!
You don't have to take the vein out of crawfish?
No! The crawfish has already been cleaned.
That's margarine not butter
Okay. Thanks!
Use Louisiana Crawfish. Not Chinese.
This video is 7 years old. I no longer use the Chinese crawfish tails. I have since created a new recipe video. Link below. Thanks! th-cam.com/video/83S8xeR59Ok/w-d-xo.html
