Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound imitation crabmeat, diced
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
At the same time, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in imitation crab and heat for 2 minutes.
Begin cooking rotini. Add to the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, stir half-and-half and parsley into the crab sauce; bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer crab sauce, adding pasta water as necessary, while pasta is finishing.
Drain pasta.
Mix Parmesan cheese into crab sauce and heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Cook's Note:

Use any pasta you'd like.
