Imitation Crab Mac and Cheese

I am back! The wedding came and the honeymoon passed and now I am ready to get back into sharing some yummy recipes with you. I have some yummy dishes planned for this month and I can't wait to get to them, but first things first. Mac and cheese. One of the most classic dishes, we tend to overlook the possibilities with this dish, the reality is that basic mac and cheese is just begging to be altered, twisted and experimented with. So let's get to this simple cheesy recipe.

Imitation Crab Mac and Cheese

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb macaroni pasta
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• salt to taste
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 lb imitation crab meat
• 2 tsp dry dill
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• olive oil
• 1 cup cheddar cheese for topping

I have been re-visiting a few albums and stumbled upon one I used to listen to a lot:

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium pot, cook pasta as directed. Then drain and set aside.
3. In a small pan saute your garlic in the oil and set aside.
4. In the same pot combine your milk, butter, garlic and cheese. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and add the pasta back into the pot. Add salt until desired taste (mine took about 2 tsps).
5. Add your dill the pasta mixture.
6. Transfer over to a smal 9x9 baking dish. Put crab on top of your mac and cheese and sprinkle the rest of your cheddar on top. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
7. Serve!

Happy Eatings Everyone! Enjoy!
