Pasta Crab Casserole

Living in the great North West you have to love the Seafood. Here is a great recipe. When i make it for just Blake and Myself i cut the recipe in half so keep that in mind when deciding how to prepare this meal for your family.

Ingredients:
8 oz uncooked spiral pasta
2 large onions, chopped(these may be a lot for some families)
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms sliced
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup butter
2 packages (8oz each) imitation crabmeat chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese

cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile in a skillet sauté the onions, mushrooms, green pepper and garlic in butter until crisp-tender( in order for mushrooms to brown the need air so don't crowd them, use a pan that is big enough and gives you room. also stirring to often with a metal utensil can tant the flavor of your food so toss it instead. your food will taste better and your family will think you're pretty cool.) remove from heat.

Drain pasta; add to the vegetable mixture. Stir in the crab, sour cream, salt and basil.

Transfer to 13 X 9 baking dishes. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Uncover bake 5 minutes longer or until heated through.

Makes 4-6 servings

Love it!!!
Enjoy!
