DECADENT ANGEL HAIR PASTA ALFREDO WITH CRABMEAT AND WHITE TRUFFLE OIL RECIPE - (4/5)



Decadent Angel Hair Pasta Alfredo with Crabmeat and White Truffle Oil Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by bakeaholic

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb. angel hair pasta
4 cups heavy cream
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat
2 tbsp. truffle oil
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 tbsp. snipped chives

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large heavy pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring to separate the strands of pasta, until just barely al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain in colander. 2. Combine the cream, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in the same pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the pasta, toss to coat. Add the crabmeat and 2 tablespoons of the truffle oil, stir gently so as to not break up the lumps of crabmeat, and cook for 1 minute. Add the cheese and gently stir until blended. 3. Divide the pasta among six or eight pasta bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of truffle oil over each serving and add more parmesan. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your angel hair Alfredo. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh garlic, and fresh herbs.
  • Cook the angel hair pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for angel hair pasta in Alfredo sauce.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It is an essential step in making Alfredo sauce. Be sure to cook the roux until it is golden brown.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream is the traditional ingredient used to make Alfredo sauce. It gives the sauce a rich, creamy texture. You can use milk or half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • Add Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is another essential ingredient in Alfredo sauce. It adds a salty, nutty flavor to the sauce. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results.
  • Season to taste: Season the Alfredo sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
