1/4c Butter
2 cloves of garlic
1/8 tbs pepper
1 pkg Imitation Crab
1c 1% Milk *
1/2 c Parmesan Cheese *
Fettuccine Noodles
*I found myself adding a little more milk and cheese to give the sauce more of a liquid consistency, don't be afraid to play around with the recipe and quantities!
It's probably a good idea to get your water boiling for your noodles first, I forgot to do this and had to leave my crab Alfredo sauce cooling while the noodles finished cooking. Not a big deal, but the timing definitely could have been better! Now that you have that started...
Mince the garlic and then add it to a large saute pan along with the butter. Allow the garlic to sauté in the butter for a couple minutes before adding the pepper, crab, and milk. It's honestly a waste of a measuring spoon to make sure you add exactly 1/8 tbs of pepper, approximating is fine. You can always add more later. Shredding the chunks of crab before adding them to the skillet will also save you the effort of trying to break them up with a wooden spoon in the pan. After you have combined all of the ingredients EXCEPT the cheese, allow everything to simmer for about three minutes.
Then you can add your parmesan cheese. Again, don't be afraid to adapt to your personal preferences by adding more than 1/2c. There will be a lot of crab meat in the sauce and you want the Alfredo taste to still stand out!
After the cheese is all melted in your next step is to add the cooked noodles. I was able to add them right on top of my sauce and mix everything together in the pan, but if you don't have enough room try a big bowl. Be careful though, everything will be hot!
Once it's all combined, sprinkle a little more parmesan cheese on top, if you want, and enjoy.
