Well, here it is, the crab pasta that I had planned to make with the balance of the Dungeness crab meat which I had picked up earlier. It’s just a simple and yet delicious Linguine with Crab. I always cook the pasta only when everyone is ready to dine, so that the pasta will not go cold and dry out.

ReplyDeleteBye
This looks like a fantastic dish!
ReplyDeleteYum, this dish looks really delicious and so light too.I haven't cooked with crab before, but this looks like a dish I could start out on - nice and easy but so tasty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and delicious! I tried it myself, and the only thing I'd love to know is: where did you get such beautiful crab meat? Short of steaming fresh crab, the canned stuff I found at Whole Foods tasted fine, but didn't look nearly as nice as yours.
ReplyDelete@John: Glad you like the recipe. I bought the crab meat from Lobster Man at Granville Island. Thanks for the feedback.
