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. 90 to 100 grams Pasta (short or long, either one is fine)
  2. 50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
  3. 1 small clove A. Garlic (very finely chopped)
  4. 1/4 Onion (roughly chopped)
  5. 30 ml B. Milk
  6. 70 ml B. Heavy cream
  7. 2 tbsp B. White wine (or sake)
  8. 1 tsp B. Butter (optional)
  9. 50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
  10. 1 C. Parsley, green onion, any green garnish
  11. 1 C. Black pepper (whole freshly ground or coarsely ground)
  12. 1 Salt 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.
