Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large lidded pan. Add the macaroni once it has melted and stir to coat.
- Add half the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the tomato paste, Sriracha and seasonings. Continue to cook the pasta, stirring occasionally and topping up the stock gradually as it gets absorbed.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce.
- Check the pasta is cooked but with a bit of bite (al dente). Stir in the cheese, adding a little more of the stock until you have a lovely creamy consistency.
- Stir in the crab to heat through. Check the seasoning – it shouldn't need any salt but add pepper and the chilli flakes. Serve immediately!
Notes
- I used a four cheese blend from the supermarket which contained Cheddar, Edam, Mozarella and Monteray Jack.
- If you have leftovers you will need to add a little water or milk when reheating on the stove.
