Crab Tetrazzini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the shallots, minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until reduced completely, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted, then sprinkle in the flour and stir until well combined with the vegetables. Slowly pour in the cream, then add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened and no longer has a floury taste, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the pasta and cheese and toss until pasta is well coated. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Meanwhile, microwave the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Stir 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the panko in a small bowl; set aside. Toss the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter with the shrimp, grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Scatter the shrimp evenly over top of the pasta, then sprinkle with the panko mixture.

• Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
• Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
