This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The crab was cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

Easy to follow recipe with amazing results. The sauce was rich and creamy, and the crab was tender and flavorful. I served it with a side of roasted asparagus, and it was a perfect meal.

I've tried many spicy crab pasta recipes, but this one takes the cake. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the crab was cooked to perfection. I added a bit of extra cayenne pepper for an extra kick, and it was perfect. Definitely a keeper!

Yum! Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit. The crab was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. Will definitely be making this again.
