2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and keep warm, covered.

While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Lower the heat and stir in half-and-half, cooking for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Mix in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Add crabmeat and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the crab is warmed through.

Divide the cooked fettuccine between two plates or bowls and top with the creamy crab sauce.
