How to Make Angel Hair Pasta And Crab With Alfredo Sauce

  1. Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  2. In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 (16-ounce) jar of Alfredo sauce over medium heat.
  3. Add 8 ounces of lump crabmeat to the warm Alfredo sauce and stir gently until heated through. (Do not overcook).
  4. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamier sauce.
  5. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup) and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
