SPAGHETTINI WITH CRAB, LIME & CHILLI
From Bill Granger's bills Sydney Food. This dish relies on the hot pasta to warm the other ingredients, so combine immediately after draining. This works well as a quick weeknight meal. I've made many variations, using only lemon zest and juice, coriander in place of the parsley, omitting the lime and adding Parmesan, etc. . . It's easy and versatile.

GLUTEN-FREE LEMON AND CRAB PASTA
Steps:
- Bring a large stock pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid then drain.
- While the pasta cooks, make the sauce: Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until bubbly, browned and smells nutty. Reduce the heat to low; add the creme fraiche, the zest from both lemons, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir together until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
- Add the crabmeat and stir gently. Once the pasta has cooked, add it directly to the sauce
- along with the lemon juice. Toss together then stir in the 1/4 cup pecorino, minced dill, 2 tablespoons chives and the tarragon. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. If it looks too dry, stir in 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid at a time. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
- Divide the pasta among 4 shallow bowls and sprinkle the tops with more pecorino, cracked pepper, minced chives and dill fronds.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, use frozen crab meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cook the spaghetti 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. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add the crab meat and spaghetti to the pan, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the crab meat and spaghetti will not cook evenly.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The spaghetti will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Crab lemon spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of crab meat, lemon, and garlic is simply irresistible. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. So next time you have some crab meat on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
