Crab Fettuccine Alfredo for Christmas

Indulge in the luxurious flavors of Crab Fettuccine Alfredo, a decadent dish that brings a touch of elegance to your holiday celebrations. The creamy Alfredo sauce pairs beautifully with tender lump crabmeat for a festive delight!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups milk

  • 4 ounces cream cheese

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black or white pepper

  • 1 pound lump crabmeat

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Prepare the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Make the 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 remove the raw flour taste.

  3. Add Milk: Slowly add the milk, a small amount at a time, whisking well between each addition to ensure a smooth sauce.

  4. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and add it to the sauce, stirring until melted and well blended.

  5. Finish the Sauce: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sauce, whisking until smooth and creamy.

  6. Add Crabmeat: Gently stir in the lump crabmeat and allow the sauce to cook on low heat until the crab is heated through.

  7. Combine with Pasta: Toss the cooked fettuccine with the sauce, or serve the pasta topped with the rich and creamy Alfredo sauce.
