Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams dry elbow macaroni, or maccheroni
  • 1/4 cup butter, this is 1/4 standard block
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup white Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 500 grams lump crab meat, drained and shell fragments removed
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 190 C. Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until just tender, drain well and return to the pot.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add flour and whisk until combined and golden brown, about 1 minute. Add milk and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Simmer 2 minutes, until sauce is thickened and smooth.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the white cheddar and mozzarella until melted then remove from heat.
  • Add the sauce and crab meat to the pot with cooked pasta and stir until completely combined. Pour into a large baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar and parsley and bake until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve.

Notes

I cannot price this until I get a price on 500 grams of lump crab meat. I will say fair cost for now.
Variant: I will play around with this also using imitation crab which would be a cost saver as well.
