Louisiana Crawfish Ya-Ya Pasta

• 3/4 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's(R)), or to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional)
• 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/3 cup sliced green onions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, green pepper, garlic, and parsley. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning; simmer 5 minutes longer.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; stir until the cheese has melted. Toss the pasta with the crawfish sauce and green onions; sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar cheese.
