CRAWFISH AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE PIZZA
Steps:
- Dough:
- In a food processor or mixer with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar and 3/4 cup water. Allow the yeast to proof for about 5 minutes, (bubbles will form around the outer edges).
- Add the oil, flour, and salt. Begin processing or mixing the ingredients, slowly pouring in the remaining 1 cup of water. Mix until the dough balls together and is shiny and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add a little olive oil to a large bowl and spread evenly around the bowl to prevent the dough from sticking. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm spot (I use the microwave oven) for about 2 hours. Punch the dough down and let it rise again, about another 2 hours. I prefer to make my dough early in the day for evening dinner or a day ahead.
- Sauce:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- I use 2 ovens when I cook my pizzas, 1 oven is preheated to 450 degrees F with a "Hearth-kit" in it, and the other oven is preheated at 500 degrees F with a pizza stone. Heat the stones for at least 1 hour before baking pizzas.
- Assembly:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out dough until very thin and cannot be rolled further. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of polenta onto a pizza peel. Put the dough on the peel and spread 1/2 tablespoon of oil all around the edges. Add 1/4 cup of pizza sauce to the middle of the dough and spread it to the outer edges, leaving about a 1-inch margin. Sprinkle the sauce with the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Top with crumbled sausage and drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza. Bake for 10 minutes in the 450 degree F oven. (If using only 1 oven, raise the heat to 500 degrees F.) Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the cooked crawfish. Put the pizza in the 500 degree F oven and cook until the top is golden brown and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pizzas to a cutting board and slice. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
- "Mangia, mangia".

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly from the boiling water into the cream sauce using tongs or a pasta fork. Sprinkle the pasta with the Parmesan and toss to combine. Add a splash of the starchy pasta water to help the sauce thicken and coat the pasta. Top with chopped parsley and serve with additional Parmesan.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for crawfish that are bright red and firm, and andouille sausage that is well-seasoned.
- Don't overcook the crawfish: Crawfish only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough. Just cook them until they are pink and opaque.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give your dish a nice, crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but make sure to preheat it well before adding the ingredients.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste: The amount of Cajun seasoning you use will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The fettuccine will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This Cajun crawfish and andouille fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of crawfish, andouille sausage, and Cajun seasoning creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or salad for a complete meal.
