Cook pasta according to box and set aside. (I would make just a bit more because I only used about 1/2 the sauce put it in the fridge for lunch tomorrow)I used real crab meat, so while the pasta was cooking, I quickly steamed them and removed the meat Set aside. On a low to medium heat in saue pan add the cream cheese and garlic and wisk (I use wire) until smooth. Raise heat a bit to medium and slowly begin adding the milk while stiring (making sure lumps are gone).I popped the broccoli in the microwave at this point. In a bowl, 2tbls of water and broccoli then covered with a plate. Cooked on regular setting for 2-1/2 minutes.Add parmesan, pepper, basil and crab meat and add broccoli when bell chimes : ) Remove from heat....will thicken as it stands.Measure 4oz pasta and pour sauce over. Enjoy!Note: My grocery store sells legs in packs (ones that have been broken) for cheap. I was able to get about 1/2 cup from a $2.25 purchase, so I would take a look at your local grocer if your interested in real crab meat.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JIMENEZT81.
