I love crab, so I used convenient canned crabmeat to make a creamy pasta dish.

Be careful not to heat for too long or at too high a temperature in Steps 7 and 9, or the sauce will become grainy. Add the crabmeat can liquid too. Recipe by *ai*

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 90to 100 grams Pasta (short or long, either one is fine)
  2. 50 gramsB. Canned crabmeat
  3. 30 mlA. Extra virgin olive oil
  4. 1 smallclove A. Garlic (very finely chopped)
  5. 1/4Onion (roughly chopped)
  6. 30 mlB. Milk
  7. 70 mlB. Heavy cream
  8. 2 tbspB. White wine (or sake)
  9. 1 tspB. Butter (optional)
  10. 50 gramsB. Canned crabmeat
  11. 1C. Parsley, green onion, any green garnish
  12. 1C. Black pepper (whole freshly ground or coarsely ground)
  13. 1Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put 3 liters of water in a large point and bring to a boil (this is the pasta water). When it's just about to boil, ad 2 tablespoons of salt (1% salt water).

  2. 2

    The amount of salt in the boiling water will affect the taste of the pasta, so measure it out properly. When the pasta water comes to a boil, turn the heat down very low.

  3. 3

    Put the A. ingredients in a cold frying pan, and cook the garlic over very low heat to transfer the flavor and fragrance to the oil.

  4. 4

    When the garlic in Step 3 is lightly colored, add the onion and salt and pepper. Set the heat to low-medium.

  5. 5

    At the same time, put the pasta in the pasta water you brought to a boil in Step 2. Cook it for 30 seconds to a minute less than the time on the package. The heat should remain set to low.

  6. 6

    When the onion in Step 4 is translucent, turn the heat down to low and add the B. ingredients. Heat slowly.

  7. 7

    When the sauce starts to bubble around the edges, turn off the heat.

  8. 8

    Strain the al dente pasta into a colander, without totally draining off the pasta water. Transfer the pasta (no need to drain) to the Step 7 sauce.

  9. 9

    Mix the sauce and the pasta well over low-medium heat. When the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, turn off the heat.

  10. 10

    Make sure not to overcook the sauce, or it will turn grainy. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with the C. ingredients, and serve.

  11. 11

    The only salt in the dish comes from the pasta water and the canned crabmeat, but I think it's just right.
