Crawfish Fettuccini

This dish is a local classic, found on nearly every restaurant menu around here. Back in the day, when my food knowledge was limited but I thought pasta was foolproof (spoiler: not always), this was my go-to order. I’m a big fan of both spice and pasta, and this delivers on both fronts.

If you haven’t tried crawfish, don’t be intimidated—just make sure you get the locally sourced ones.
