Slow Cooker Recipe
Pasta Dress-Up
Is your pasta feeling a bit under-dressed these days? Missing out on the holiday spirit? Looking just a trifle dowdy surrounded by all the other festive holiday dishes on the table?
Time for a fashion makeover for the humble dish of spaghetti or angel hair. The addition of crabmeat and fresh mushrooms to a basic pasta sauce is just the thing to launch your pasta into the world of haute cuisine.
This entree could also headline a cozy dinner-for-two next to the fireplace. Add a fancy salad, crusty bread, and the beverage of your choice in elegant glasses, and watch the sparks fly!
