Crab Alfredo Recipe

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.

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.

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.

Divide the fettucine between 2 plates or bowls and top with the crab sauce.
