- Be sure to season the crawfish well before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
- Be sure to use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole.
