Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb elbow pasta
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 shallot finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup milk
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 lb lump crab meat
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large pot of boiling water, cook elbows according to package directions until al dente (cooked to be firm to the bite). Drain and return to pot.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallot and garlic and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add flour and whisk until combined and golden, about 1 minute. Add milk and season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes until sauce is thickened and smooth.
  3. Stir in ½ cup cheddar and mozzarella until melty and then remove from heat.
  4. Add sauce and crab meat to pot with cooked elbow pasta and stir until completely combined.
  5. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheddar and grated parmesan, and bake until bubbly, about 20 minutes
