Ingredients:
1 lb fettuccini pasta
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
4 oz cream cheese, cut into small chunks
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black or white pepper
1 lb lump crabmeat
Directions:
Cook the Fettuccini:
Cook the fettuccini pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, cooking the mixture for 30-60 seconds to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk, adding it a little at a time while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
Add Cream Cheese and Parmesan:
Stir in the chunks of cream cheese, allowing them to melt and incorporate into the sauce.
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add Crabmeat:
Gently stir in the lump crabmeat, letting it heat through on low heat without breaking apart too much.
Assemble the Dish:
Toss the cooked fettuccini with the sauce until evenly coated, or serve the pasta topped with the crab Alfredo sauce.
