COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Crab Mac and Cheese

Preheat oven to 350º.
While performing steps 3-5, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Once cooked and drained, set aside.
In a sauce pan, combine cornstarch, dry mustard, and Phillips Seafood Seasoning.
Turn burner to medium heat, then add milk to pan and whisk until well-combined. Continue whisking until milk begins to lightly bubble and thicken. Whisking continuously, add butter and Dijon until well-combined, then add cheese slowly while still whisking.
Once cheese is fully melted, stir in pasta, crab, then parsley until well-integrated. Immediately transfer to a greased baking dish.
Bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until top is lightly browned and bubbling. Remove from oven and let set for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
