Simply put, delicious! A little on the decadent side, but it can be made with fat-free half-and-half and a heart-healthy spread instead of butter. Serve with garlic bread sticks, a nice salad, and a glass of Chardonnay.

CRAB ALFREDO
I came up with this version of crab alfredo because my granddaughter loves crab but, is slightly allergic to seafoods. It uses imitation crab, although the real thing is good too.

Tips:
- Use a quality Alfredo sauce: A good Alfredo sauce is the foundation of this dish, so be sure to use a high-quality jarred or homemade sauce. If you're making your own sauce, use heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, and nutmeg.
- Cook the crab legs properly: Crab legs should be cooked until they are opaque and tender. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat is best for this dish, but you can also use frozen crab meat if it's defrosted properly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the crab legs, don't overcrowd the pan or they won't cook evenly.
- Add some vegetables: If you want to add some vegetables to this dish, try broccoli, asparagus, or zucchini.
