Ingredients
- 454 g fettuccini pasta
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 30 g all-purpose flour
- 480 ml milk
- 113 g cream cheese
- 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 ml fresh parsley, chopped
- 5 ml garlic powder
- 5 ml onion powder
- 5 ml salt
- 5 ml black or white pepper
- 454 g lump crabmeat
Instructions
- Prepare the fettuccini by boiling it as directed on the package until it reaches a firm yet tender texture.
- In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Incorporate the flour and mix thoroughly. Allow the flour and oil mixture to cook for 30-60 seconds, then gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously between each addition.
- Slice the cream cheese into small pieces and add them to the sauce, stirring until they are fully melted and blended in.
- Mix in the grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, whisking until the sauce is smooth.
- Carefully fold in the crabmeat, letting the sauce simmer on low until the crab is heated through.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, or serve the fettuccini with the sauce draped over the top.
Notes
- Use whole milk or half and half for a creamier sauce.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
- Add lemon juice or red pepper flakes for a zesty flavor kick.
