Ingredients
-
1/2 pound penne pasta
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
4 cups milk
-
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay®, or to taste
-
3 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
-
1 (5.2 ounce) package Garlic & Herbs Soft Spreadable Cheese, such as Boursin®, broken into chunks
-
salt to taste
-
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
-
2 ounces lump crab meat
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain; keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, add butter and flour to a saucepan over medium heat. As butter melts, whisk flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When milk comes to a boil, turn off heat. Add Old Bay seasoning, Cheddar cheese, and Boursin cheese, and whisk until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and hot sauce to taste.
-
Stir in drained pasta; gently fold in crab meat.
