Linguine With Crawfish Tails Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Linguine

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add Vegetables and Andouille

   Add the sliced andouille sausage, button mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the tomatoes are starting to burst, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Incorporate Crawfish and Artichokes

   Stir in the crawfish tails and artichoke hearts. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Make the Cream Sauce

   Pour in the heavy cream and basil pesto, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
