How do you introduce the crab? Just mix it all in, white and brown, with the sauce? BBC recipe online has brown meat in the sauce and white mixed with creme freche and lemon added on afterwards, which does sound quite nice, but more faff.

Mix white sauce, ALL the grated cheese (I used a Comte this time round), white & brown crab meat, seasoning (white pepper, saffron)
Mix with parboiled macaroni & bake.Crème fraiche? Allow it fam.
For normal mac & cheese, I'll fry off a load of pancetta (keep all the fat, of course), and add a bay leaf or two to infuse the milk, and maybe finish with some truffle butter.

Crab mac & cheese.
Pink pepper corns were a mistake, and the saffron probably added nothing, but otherwise, this is going on the list.
