- I'll even give you several...depending on what kind of diet you're on and
- how much time you're willing to spend.... to turn any of these into crab
- alfedo sauce, just stir in a container of cooked crab before you add the
- cheese.
-
- I hope you enjoy them all!!

-
- QUICK alfredo sauce (I'm not sure that this one would be appropriate for crab)
- -------------------
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 2 tbs dried herbs (I usually use half oregano and half basil)
- 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
-
- Just mix everything up and toss with you're favorite pasta! For less fat,
- use a reduced fat sour cream or even a fat free. I haven't tried it, but
- strained non-fat plain yogurt would probably work as well.
-
-
-
- Light alfredo sauce (This isn't as heavy as traditional)
- -------------------
- 1 c skim milk
- 1 tbs. flour
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbs butter or margerine
- 8 oz. sour cream (regular or light...non-fat doesn't work well here)
- 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)
- 2 tbs dried herbs (as above)
-
- Heat butter in heavy sauce pan over medium-low heat. Sautee onion and garlic
- until onion is translucent. Add flour and stir constantly for 20-30 seconds.
- Slowly add skim milk. Wisk if lumps develop. Reduce heat so it doesn't
- simmer. Add herbs. Slowly at cheese. When cheese is melted, simmer for
- a few seconds to thicken then remove from heat. When sauce has slightly
- cooled, stir in sour cream. (if you do use the non-fat, I suggest letting
- it get almost to room temperature before adding. It breakes up easier than
- the regular sour cream. Also, the strained yogurt would probably hold up
- well.) Toss with your favorite pasta.
