Ingredients

1 lb blue crab meat, flaked
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and quartered
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
32 ounces fresh spinach (or 1 package frozen spinach thawed)
2/3 cup parmesan cheese

Preparation

In a large skillet, combine butter and olive oil and saute onion and garlic over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, add the flour and cook and stir until flour is well blended. Stir in broth, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add crab meat and cook for 5 minutes.
