This was quite tasty, despite the deceptively short ingredient list. The pasta to crab ratio seemed a little high unless you really need to extend this for a potluck. I'm trying this with leftover grilled salmon right now (with half the pasta).

4 stars is relative to all the recipes I've tried on this site. 5 stars if I'm only comparing healthy side dishes. I used a whole can of beef broth and a little less cayenne (to be toddler friendly). My guests were very impressed and even my husband commented favorably the next day (high praise from a man of few words). The stock boy I asked at Henry's (Wild Oats) had JUST unloaded the box with quinoa and was about to return it to the back room because it didn't have a shelf space yet. What timing!

My 3-year-old crammed the first one in his mouth and signed "more please." I couldn't even wait the 5 minutes post-oven to taste these gorgeous lovelies and they taste just as good as they look. I'm not sure how big a walnut is and ended up with 40. There were only six left the next morning and I can confirm they stay soft (and we didn't even cover them).
