Method: 

In a regular pasta boiling pot, boil noodles until barely al dente in salted water. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. In a saucepan, sauté onions, celery, bell peppers, and garlic in butter until clear, about 10-15 minutes. Add seafood, seasoning, and hot sauce, simmer for 10 minutes. Put Velveeta and other cheeses in the pot, stirring until melted. Add some of the cream, stirring until smooth. Put noodles in a baking dish and pour mixture over noodles while mixing in the rest of the cream. Season to taste, may need more spices to your taste. This is the time to add more before baking. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
