For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) to the vegetables after they have softened. Let it reduce slightly before adding the garlic. If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute with a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. But cream cheese is recommended. Be careful not to overcook the crawfish, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste. For a richer flavor, use a high-quality Parmesan cheese. The reserved pasta water is key to creating a perfectly emulsified sauce. Add it gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
