Prep. Time : 0:45
Serves : 4

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 Tbls. cream cheese
1 pt. half and half
1/2 - 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper - to taste
4 - 6 crab legs - boiled and shelled
1/2 Lb. pasta - prepared as directed

-Stir in cream cheese until softened.
-Add half and half, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper; stir well.
-Simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat.
-Lightly blot crab meat on paper towel to remove excess water.
-Pour alfredo sauce over prepared pasta. Place crab meat on top. Serve.

NOTES : A true chef would not use the cream cheese, but it does help thicken the sauce up, without much difference to the taste. You can omit it, just be prepared to stay with the sauce a little longer to thicken it.
