Restaurant-style Crab Cream Pasta with Canned Crabmeat
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
-
90 to 100 grams Pasta (short or long, either one is fine)
-
50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
-
30 ml A. Extra virgin olive oil
-
1 small clove A. Garlic (very finely chopped)
-
1/4 Onion (roughly chopped)
-
30 ml B. Milk
-
70 ml B. Heavy cream
-
2 tbsp B. White wine (or sake)
-
1 tsp B. Butter (optional)
-
50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
-
1 C. Parsley, green onion, any green garnish
-
1 C. Black pepper (whole freshly ground or coarsely ground)
-
1 Salt and pepper
Cooking Instructions
-
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
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
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
When the garlic in Step 3 is lightly colored, add the onion and salt and pepper. Set the heat to low-medium.
-
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
When the onion in Step 4 is translucent, turn the heat down to low and add the B. ingredients. Heat slowly.
-
7
When the sauce starts to bubble around the edges, turn off the heat.
-
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
Mix the sauce and the pasta well over low-medium heat. When the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, turn off the heat.
-
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.

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