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...

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.

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.
