Heavenly Crab Alfredo

Alfredo sauce is a rich sauce of butter, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. If you like, top each serving with lots of freshly ground black pepper.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 6-ounce cans white crabmeat, drained and flaked
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 8 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained and crumbled
• 1 pound dried angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
• Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add crabmeat and parsley. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Slowly stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until thickened. Fold in Monterey Jack cheese; heat about 1 minute more or until cheese is combined. Fold in the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately over pasta. Garnish each serving with parsley sprigs, if desired.

Number of Servings: 4 servings
