This creamy crab pasta is amazing and super easy to prepare. I think its one of the tastiest pasta dishes someone can make, perfect when you want to spoil yourself with little time at your hands. The succulent crab meat is giving each forkful a rich flavor. I used frozen crab meat, but you can also use canned. I did make this dish with fresh crab meat once but I can tell you that it tastes equally as good with frozen crab meat as with fresh. Fresh crab meat makes it too long to prepare and too expensive. I used shell shaped pasta to build on the sea food theme and was happy to see the delicious creamy sauce fill every single shell.
It´s great served with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.
