This was simply FABULOUS!!!!!! I used others' comments and doubled the sauce but I also doubled the amount of pasta and the amount of crab. I found it had WAY too much sauce this way but we're not a saucey family..so that may have something to do with it. In the future, I'll still double the pasta and crab but keep the sauce quantity as is. I only had fat free evaporated milk and it was fine. I added 5 cloves of garlic to the dish with the green onions and lemons. Even my 3 and 5 year old devoured this. My son, who doesn't like sauce on anything, asked me to add more sauce to his! The crab tasted heavenly. This is definitely a company-worthy recipe. You will definitely impress with this! Thank you Barb!
