Purchased Alfredo sauce lends creaminess to this crab casserole while red pepper flakes kick up the taste. Summer squash and zucchini bring garden-fresh goodness to the comforting main dish from Bernadette Bennett of Waco, Texas.

Very good, even my daughter who does not like vegetables ate it.

This was an excellent recipe and a great way for me to get more fish in my children's diet. Right combination of all ingredients. I boiled the pasta until past tender, about 8 minutes which helped to create a smoother, creamier texture with the rest of the ingredients. High recommend!

Made as written, except for halving and then slicing the zucchini & squash. It was good but very rich. Served with caesar salad and garlic bread. Will make again.

This recipe was simple and delicious. I love crab but it would also be good with shrimp or both. The zucchini is a very nice flavor. Will definitely make again.
