Ingredients (serves 10-12)
- 12 ounces small pasta, cooked and kept hot
- 12 ounces crab meat
- 5 ounces extra sharp cheddar, shredded
- 5 ounces gouda cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups half and half
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Heat the oil and butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and stir well. Allow the garlic to brown slightly.
Add the flour and whisk until a thick paste forms. Cook this mixture until very lightly browned.
Add the half and half, stirring continuously, then add the milk and wine. Stir well.
Whisk in the cheese one handful at a time, until it is all added and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Stir in the salt and thyme, and simmer while stirring for about 5 minutes.
In a large baking dish, layer the pasta, half the crab, half the sauce, and half the panko. Repeat, ending with panko.
Bake until browned and bubbly, about 40 minutes.
