Place a sauté pan over medium heat, add heavy cream, cream cheese, chevre cheese, white cheddar cheese and Beecher’s cheese. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly with a rubber spatula so not to burn the sauce. Add pre-cooked macaroni, whole butter, black pepper, kosher salt and 2 ounces of crab meat. Turn your heat to medium high and keep on stirring until the mixture reaches your desired consistency (saucy or not). The whole process should take about 3-5 minutes, when the macaroni is to your liking, transfer it to a serving bowl, top it with the Beecher’s bread crumbs, place in oven broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes or until surface is nice and brown. Garnish with remaining ounce of crab meat and finish with chopped Italian parsley (optional).
