Crab and Pasta Casserole

Crab and Pasta Casserole at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
This is a delicious crab and pasta casserole with fresh vegetables and a cheesy sauce. If you need a great fish casserole to take to a covered dish dinner, then this one will sure be a hit. I have taken this to many covered dish suppers during lent and other times of the year. Our family loves this casserole and it freezes really well.

  1. That sounds delicious! I never think to sure fish in a casserole since my boys aren't huge fans of seafood but I could see taking this to a cookout in the summer and it being a huge hit.

  5. Do you think Old Bay seasoning could work in this instead of Cajun and cayenne? Can't do hot seasonings.
