Crab Mac and Cheese Recipe

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Add pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes less than indicated in package directions. Drain and set aside.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Slowly add milk and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Whisk constantly until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat then add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Add cooked pasta and crabmeat; stir well. Place mixture in individual ovenproof bowls or an 8-inch oval baking dish.

Sprinkle top with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake until top is bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
