Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 medium sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced

5 Tbsp. butter

1 lb. dried small or medium shell pasta

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

3 cups milk

small dash hot sauce

1 lb. Brie cheese, trimmed and chopped (reserve 8 small wedges for topping, if desired)

2 6- to 6.5-oz. cans lump crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed

or you may use shredded crab meat

3 slices firm one day old white bread, torn into large pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly coat eight 14-to 16-ounce individual baking dishes with cooking spray; set aside.

In large skillet cook onion in butter over medium-low heat about 15 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook pasta in 4-quart Dutch oven according to package directions; drain and return to pan.

Add flour, salt, and pepper to onion in skillet; stir until combined, about 1 minute.

Add milk all at once.

Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly.

Gradually add chopped cheese; cook over medium-low heat until cheese melts.

Stir into pasta.

Fold in crab.

Transfer to baking dishes.

--------------

Place bread pieces in food processor; cover and process to coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle crumbs over pasta mixture.

Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and crumbs are golden brown.

If desired, add a wedge of Brie to each dish the last 5 minutes of baking time.

Love it! So unique and gourmet. Brie cheese and crabmeat in pasta sounds like a holy trinity.
