Ingredients
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni (cooked)
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 7 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp salt
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 4 oz Pecorino Romano cheese (shredded)
  • Two 6-oz cans crab meat
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions

Cook pasta in a pot of salted water and drain. Set aside.

To make a bechamel sauce, melt butter in a pan over medium heat, just until it melts.

Add flour and whisk together with butter for 3-4 minutes, until it turns a light golden color. 

Increase temperature to medium-high and slowly add milk while whisking continuously. Cook for about 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened so it coats the back of a spoon.

Preheat oven to 425℉.

Add both cheeses to the bechamel sauce and stir with a spoon until thoroughly mixed.

In your sauce pot or a large bowl, stir cooked pasta together with bechamel cheese sauce and crab meat until mixed well. 

Transfer crab mac & cheese to a baking dish and sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs.

Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Let cool a few minutes.

Serve as a main dish, or as a side to steak or chicken.
