Cajun French: l’ail (l’a-ee) – garlic
Having crabmeat and greens in the frig and needing to use them, we decided to put them together and serve with pasta and lots of garlic. This dish will make everyone smile and go back for seconds and thirds. The dish could be turned into a casserole and would be great for a pot luck.
Mais C’est Bon!
