So I am having a crab moment. Is that weird? Like, last week alone I couldn’t stop thinking about crab cakes. In a majorly obsessive way. I am sure this means I have some sort of strange vitamin deficiency, but I am going to overlook that for now. Anyhow, this past weekend I got busy with about 3 pounds of crab meat. Which means, I am going to inundate you here over the next few weeks with multiple crab recipes. Which probably also means I am alienating about half of you, but you CAN’T CONTROL A CRAVING! And today, not only are we talking about crab, we are also carb loading. Because ALFREDO. Yeah, this isn’t a light dish…BUT it’s an easy one. Actually it’s ridiculously easy…like literally made in 15 minutes. But while it’s a breeze to throw together, it’s SUPER impressive. It just seems way fancier than it actually is…and I’m not mad about it.
Crab Alfredo is a simple and elegant Alfredo Pasta Recipe!
This recipe calls for a pound of crab meat. I also used a combo of claw meat and lump crab meat… but that was just to mix it up. Use whatever type you prefer…just don’t use imitation. Save that for your California Roll. K thanks. All you do is boil some fettuccine, and while that is boiling, melt together some light cream and butter… Grate some Parmesan Cheese… Do NOT use the pre-grated or powdery stuff. PLEASE. I actually love using a microplane/zester to grate my Parmesan. Mix this into the cream/butter mixture. Add the crab, a little Old Bay, stir and voila! Add the glorious sauce your pasta… Stir to combine… Garnish with a little fresh parsley… And omg yes. This is absolutely ridiculous. In the best way possible! Looking for more pasta recipes?
