Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons Butter or margarine
  • 4 tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Half-and-half cream (heavy cream If you REALLY feel wicked)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (or more to Taste)
  • Salt and white pepper (to Taste)
  • Few grains cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 6 cooked snow crab meat (8 oz. size), Cut into chunks
  • Linguini cooked al dente

Instruction

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour, and cook briefly until the mixture looks sandy. Do NOT let it color. Whisk in the half-and-half, and stir until the mixture forms a thick sauce. Stir in the cheese, and season to taste. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors, and stir in the crab meat. Cook JUST until the crab is heated through. Serve over cooked linguini, with additional Parmesan cheese and hot red pepper flakes on the side. Before some purist jumps me, I KNOW this isn't a classic Alfredo, but it is a very good dish, and remarkably easy to make. Also, the sauce is purposely thick because I like it that way =P, just add more liquid ingredient if you want it thinned!
