Seafood Pasta?!
Seafood Pasta?
I go to this Chinese buffet and the have this cooked seafood pasta, it is absolutely delish! I know they put imitation crab, scallops and shrimp in it along with tricolored noodles. It is a hot dish that has a creamy, cheesy sauce on it. I can taste a couple of different types of cheeses but I'm not exactly sure what kinds they are. Does anyone have any idea how I could go about making this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

One of the things we did (from an Italian background) was to prepare your favorite spagetti sauce (canned, jarred or homemade) but add cleaned blue crabs to it at the last part until done. Then, put newspaper everywhere....under and over the table, and dig in. Its so messy, but it is so good. Serve it over your favorite pasta, eat the crabs with your hands, and have lots of fresh pecorino ramano cheese and vino available!!!
