White Sauce Crab Pasta

"This is a creation of my own that resulted from too much white sauce when I made another recipe from here. So, I played around with what I had in the house and came up with this tasty meal. It actually uses imitation crabmeat instead of real crab. It's very mild, so feel free to spice it up if you prefer."

  1. We really enjoyed this dish...I added some Parmesan cheese on top...it did seem to need additional spice so sprinkled some Johnny's seafood seasoning and that made a bit difference...loved that it used imitation crabmeat...very inexpensive dish to prepare...served it with a salad and some garlic bread...made for "Went to Market" tag game...
     
  2. This is an Excellent Recipe! I did use fresh parsley for garnish as you suggested and put some parmesian cheese as a topping and it was Fabulouso ! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. This is just what I'm looking for! My daughter loves crab and I'm having a baby shower for her next week. <br/>I wanted to make a creamy pasta with crab and this looks perfect. I am going to use lump crab and add some sundried tomatoes and asparagus but I think it will be fine. The clam juice is perfect to pump up the seafood flavor. <br/>Thanks for the recipe. I'll let you know how everyone likes it.
     
  4. We enjoyed this very much. I used bow tie pasta, but made no other changes. It is mild, but in a good way. It's a great way to dress up imitation crab. I used the optional cilantro and (although it was dried) it was a wonderful addition! I recommend using it. I'll use this recipe again. Thanx for posting it.
     
  5. Good and easy! I also added 1/2 green pepper, chopped and used 2 garlic cloves, minced instead of the garlic powder. Thanks for sharing!
