Answer 4

Make an alfredo sauce with heavy cream and cheeses (like the shaker kind you top off pasta with) like parmesean, reggiano, and/or asiago. Toss in some spinach or mushrooms, add a little (and I mean a little) sherry for a nice touch. Add your crab last. Good luck!

Answer 5

All I know is how to make filling for a crab sandwich. . . ?

Crab (sprinkle a little lemon juice on the crab), mayonnaise, celery, green onion, a little salt & peper.

Answer 6

if the alfredo suggestion doesn't strike your fancy try this.
cook the pasta, drain, place back in cooking pan, place back on stove burner (electric, low on gas) and add butter (table spoon or so). stir to melt the butter. add chopped vegetables, and crab meat. toss to combine.
plate nicely and enjoy
