Fettucine with Crab




Source of Recipe


my own invention






Recipe Introduction


I served this with a sidedish of blanched carrots and broccoli with a lime butter (butter, lime zest, lime juice). It seemed to work together.

When I can't get crab I use anchovies and olives for a slightly different flavour.





List of Ingredients



• home-made fettucine (enough for about 2 people)
  
• 3 cloves garlic
  
• 10 medium mushrooms
  
• 2 tbs capers
  
• olive oil
  
• 3/4 cup white wine
  
• 250g tomato puree
  
• 125g cream (or to taste)
  
• 200g crab meat
  
• pepper
  
• chilli flakes
  






Instructions



1. Heat oil. On low heat fry garlic and mushrooms gently for about 2 minutes.
   
2. Turn up heat and add wine. Let most of the wine boil off. Add pepper and chilli to taste.
   
3. Pour in tomato puree.
   
4. Cook pasta (not too long)
   
5. As pasta is cooking add capers and crab to sauce. Mix through, turn off heat and add cream (add enough cream to get an attractive pink flavour)
   
6. Drain pasta, toss through sauce. Serve with grated parmesan for those who want it (not me)
