Ayesha Curry’s Crab Mac and Cheese

It’s hard to improve upon macaroni and cheese, but adding crabmeat is one good way to do it. This dish, adapted from my cookbook, “The Full Plate” (Voracious, 2020), is so surprisingly satisfying, even though many cooks don’t typically pair seafood and cheese. I like to use small, shell-shaped pasta; the curves in the noodles act as traps for the creamy sauce. Without the crab added, this is still a great version of a classic, but the crab makes it extra special. Lobster would be good, too.
