Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Kosher salt
6 ounces elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces shredded mozzarella
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
4 ounces cream cheese
1 pound frozen, shelled crawfish tails, defrosted

Steps:

Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil over high heat; salt it generously. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the broiler to high.
Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, then add the onions. Cook until the onions soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Then stir in the garlic, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and cook for another minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan to melt. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir until it turns a deep blonde color and has a nutty aroma, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking frequently, until it starts to thicken. Then add the cream and thicken for another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheeses until melted. Add the crawfish to the sauce, and then fold in the macaroni until coated. Remove from the heat.
Divide the mac and cheese among 8 large ramekins or cast-iron skillets. Broil until the tops of the noodles are golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup diced pancetta
1/2 cup small diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk or 3 cups half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 lb cooked and peeled crawfish tail, with any fat
1 lb orecchiette or 1 small shell pasta, cooked al dente, drained
4 ounces grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
4 ounces grated white cheddar cheese
4 ounces grated gruyere
4 ounces grated fontina
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence (or Cajun seasoning)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Set a large, wide-mouthed 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta to the pot and cook the pancetta until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the butter and flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk or half-and-half and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with the salt, white pepper, and nutmeg and cook for 3 minutes. Add the crawfish to the pot and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and fold in the cooked pasta and grated cheeses. Stir to combine well.
Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish such as a 9 by 13-inch casserole. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the Essence and sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake uncovered until golden brown and bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes.
