Shula’s Crab Mac and Cheese – The Recipe

We begin by placing 6 oz. of Boursin cream into a small saucepot and bring it to a gentle simmer that encourages the creation of a flawless sauce. Next, we combine 7 oz. of cooked Gemelli pasta to the Boursin cream sauce and gently mix with a spoon. Once fully coated, the pasta mixture is placed in a hot rarebit dish and evenly topped with 2 oz. of Jumbo Lump Crab meat. We then sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and a ¼ cup of croutons that have been chopped into roughly ¼ inch pieces. Place in a 400-degree oven on the bottom shelf and cook for approximately seven minutes or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. To finish this delicious fan favorite, garnish with 1 tablespoon of finely sliced green onions and serve immediately. The portion offered is the ideal size for sharing, but we’ll understand if you want to keep all the creamy goodness to yourself. Enjoy!
