Crab Alfredo
This recipe for crab alfredo was originally going to be pancetta alfredo because pancetta was on sale. Except, when I got to the store I couldn’t find it. (The perils of living in a small town.) So, I improvised… and it turned out to be delicious. It’s a quick and easy weeknight dinner that tastes like you’ve slaved over the stove. I won’t tell. Enjoy.
