Crabmeat and Sherry Fettuccine Alfredo (by The Big Cheese)

A big thanks to “Momma Cheese” for giving me the recipe book “The Dinner Doctor”. It is a fun recipe book that is jammed packed with quick/easy/yumm-O recipes.



I loved this recipe for many different reasons.
Reason #1: I love ANYTHING with Alfredo sauce!
Reason #2: Crabmeat and I are BFF’s
Reason #3: It takes 8 minutes to prep, and 12 minutes to cook…hello, convenience!


What you need:
8 ounces fettuccine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 container (10 ounces) refrigerated Alfredo-style pasta sauce
2 tablespoons medium-dry sherry
Cayenne pepper
2 cans (6 ounces each) lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
¼ cup pre-shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish

How it’s made:
1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling H20 for 12 minutes, or until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper; reduce heat to medium and stir, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the pasta sauce, sherry and season cayenne pepper to taste. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the crabmeat.
4. Drain pasta, spoon in the crab sauce. Serve at once, garnished with the parsley and Parmesan cheese.
