Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; add garlic. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Stir in onion and ½ tablespoon pepper flakes; cook until onion becomes translucent. Add crawfish tails; cook, stirring continuously, for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer crawfish to a bowl, leaving as many onions as possible in the skillet.
  3. 3 Add heavy cream to the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened. Stir in remaining ½ tablespoon pepper flakes; return sauce to a simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Serve crawfish and sauce over pasta; garnish with green onions.
