Crab Fettuccine Alfredo is an incredibly delicious dinner that comes together in a snap! Fettuccine topped with creamy homemade Alfredo sauce filled with lump crab–a really special meal that can easily be made any night of the week.
Crab Fettuccine Alfredo
This meal was so super easy to make and pretty much start-to-finish done in less than 30 minutes. We all loved it so much, this is for sure going into the regular dinner rotation.
One thing I really liked about this recipe is that we used milk instead of heavy cream to make the Alfredo sauce. I love a good Alfredo made with butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan, but it’s so heavy and incredibly high fat. Making the sauce with milk didn’t impact the flavor (the addition of cream cheese makes it nice and creamy) but really reduced the fat content.
The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make the Crab Fettuccine Alfredo (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):
Fettuccine
Butter
All-purpose flour

Fresh Parmesan cheese – don’t use the grated Parmesan from a jar–buy a wedge of real Parmesan and finely grate it at home. It just takes a minute to do and makes a big difference in the sauce.
Cream cheese
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt
Pepper
Fresh parsley
Imitation lump crab
