Crawfish and Tasso Fettuccine Recipe #107823
Tasso is/are(??) lean strips of boneless pork that have been marinated in a special seasoning and then heavily smoked. Used in cajun/creole cooking. If you can't locate tasso in your grocery store, I have purchased it from cajungrocer.com. This is a splurge recipe meaning it is VERY rich and fattening.
