With this rich macaroni and cheese recipe, you can enjoy the flavors of Dungeness crab and gooey cheese. It's a fancy take on a classic comfort food that's great for special events or whenever you want something warm and comforting.

Ingredients: 8 oz macaroni pasta. 1 lb Dungeness crab meat. 4 tbsp unsalted butter. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 2 cups whole milk. 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese. 1 cup shredded Gruyre cheese. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/2 tsp garlic powder. 1/2 tsp onion powder. Salt and black pepper to taste. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Follow the directions on the box to cook the macaroni until it is al dente. Remove the water and set it aside. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Mix in the flour, and then cook for two minutes while stirring all the time. As you whisk in the milk, make sure it's smooth. Let it cook for five more minutes, or until the sauce gets thicker. Add the Gruyre, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses and mix them in until the cheeses are smooth and melty. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. Add the cooked macaroni and Dungeness crab meat and mix them in well. Put the mixture in a baking dish that has been greased. Cover the whole thing with breadcrumbs. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Add chopped parsley as a garnish before serving.
