Crab Alfredo

SUBMITTED BY: LisaJ  PHOTO BY: MommyLisa 

"Simply put, delicious! A little on the decadent side, but it can be made with fat-free half-and-half and a heart-healthy spread instead of butter. Serve with garlic bread sticks, a nice salad, and a glass of Chardonnay."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 8 ounces dried fettucine
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces crabmeat, flaked

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Keep warm and covered.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until garlic releases its aroma, about 2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat, and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until cheeses melt and mixture is smooth. Mix in the crabmeat and continue cooking until crabmeat is heated through, about 3 minutes.
  4. Divide the fettucine among 4 plates or bowls and top with the crab sauce.
