How to Make Alfredo Maui Maui With Crab

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots: Toss 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup cauliflower florets, and 1 cup sliced carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  4. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in 1 cup nonfat half-and-half, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  6. Add 1 pound cooked crab meat to the sauce. Gently stir to combine.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the Alfredo Maui Maui over the roasted vegetables. Garnish with extra basil, if desired.
