I have made this twice, like others even without the cheese sauce is too thick. I actually had to add 2 cups milk just to thin it right. Maybe only use 2 tablespoons of floor. DO NOT USE a whole teaspoon Cayenne! Much better to add a few dashes instead. I love eating this at Red Lobster, order it every time and it is NOWHERE this hot. Hope this helps.

Excellent pasta my family loved it... I made a double batch... There are two things that I would alter for next time though... The recipe called for 1 full cup of the grated parm since i made the double and I only added 3/4 and the sauce still got very thick so I would definately tone it down and the other is I wasn't really a fan of the cayenne so I would either cut down on that or leave it out completely. But overall excellent and I would definately make it again.

My son said that this is more than a 5 star. He absolutely LOVED this. Of course, I tweaked this recipe a little. I one and a half timed this, but added more crab and more parmasan cheese. He said this truly rocked. Thank you AFWifey for this super recipe. He said, "it is filling and it is great."

I found this just a okay recipe for me. Personally I just found it a little too thick. It was good but just not what I was hoping for. This is the only dish I always eat at Red Lobster and this misses it by a bit. (jmo) I made the recipe as written and only added a clove of garlic. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I really enjoyed this. Very easy and simple to make. I used 8 ounces of linguine but that was too little as I had way too much (and very thick) sauce left over. I would sugguest cooking the whole package (12 ounces) and serving over top rather than mixing. In addition to adding garlic, I added a few dashed of nutmeg and red pepper flakes to spice it up. I rated this a 3 because the sauce was thicker than I would have preferred. Will cook again.
