Crawfish with Tortellini

TEMPTING

This Crawfish with Tortellini recipe was sort of an experiment gone right and this is one of my last cream/pasta recipes. It’s time to cut back a little on the high cholesterol ingredients and start preparing healthier dishes for my family.


If you love lobster, shrimp and scallops then you should have no problem eating crawfish. If you never tried crawfish before they taste like a cross between shrimp and crab. They are not as sweet as lobster and they have a stronger flavor. Combining them into an Italian recipe is just as easy as including shrimp, crab or scallops and it adds a different dimension to the recipe.

Crawfish with Tortellini is the best combination of pasta that I preferred. I liked the Parmesan cheese tortellini but I’m sure it would taste great with spinach tortellini. You could also use linguini or spaghetti if you like. Enjoy!
