Italian Dinner Special Recipe

Lemon Pasta with Crab and Chili

INGREDIENTS:

½ LB LINGUINE

½ LB CRAB MEAT

4 TBS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

1 CHILI – SEEDED AND CHOPPED

2 CLOVES GARLIC – sliced

JUICE and ZEST OF 1 LARGE LEMON

¼ CUP FRESH BASIL LEAVES – shredded

 

METHOD:

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente.
  2. In the meantime, in a medium size bowl combine all the remaining ingredients, except the basil, and toss well.  Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the water as a back-up. 
  4. Add the drained pasta back to the pot and add the crab mixture and toss.  If the pasta looks a little dry now is the time to keep stirring some of the reserved pasta water back into the pasta until you get the desired consistency. 
  5. Taste for a little more salt and pepper, maybe a dash of olive oil, sprinkle with the shredded basil and pass the cheese.
