LINGUINE WITH CRAB MEAT



Linguine with Crab Meat image

At All'onda in Greenwich Village, the chef Chris Jaeckle channels Venice by way of Japan. This pasta dish, which I enjoyed in his restaurant a few weeks ago, sums it up. Fresh pasta with crab meat and a smidgen of tomato is brightened with yuzu, lemon's racy Japanese cousin. I remembered the dish as I savored the food-friendly, energetic white Bordeaux. The good acidity and citric notes of these wines welcome seafood. Though Mr. Jaeckle's version calls for peekytoe crab, it is all but impossible to find in most retail fish markets, so he allowed for regular lump crab meat. As for the yuzu juice, it's sold in Japanese markets. Look for a refrigerated brand that has no preservatives. You'll have plenty left over, enough to test your cocktail-making chops before dinner.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 jalapeño, cored, seeded, very finely minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon yuzu juice (sold in Japanese markets) or lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup chopped peeled and seeded tomato, fresh or canned
Salt
Japanese togarashi pepper or cayenne, to taste
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup seafood stock
1/2 pound crab meat, preferably peekytoe
12 ounces fresh linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Combine jalapeño, lemon zest and yuzu juice in a small dish and set aside. Heat half the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onion and cook on medium-high until it starts to caramelize. Remove it. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until they start to brown. Return the onions to the pan, add the tomatoes and cook until they start to dry out. Pulse the mixture in a food processor until very finely chopped. Add the jalapeño mixture and season to taste with salt and togarashi. The mixture should have a touch of heat.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Heat the remaining oil in the sauté pan on low. Add the garlic, cook until it softens, then add the wine. Increase heat to medium high and reduce until the wine films the pan. Add the stock and the tomato mixture. Stir, then add the crab.
  • Cook the pasta until it is al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and add it to the sauté pan. Add the butter. Use tongs to toss all the ingredients together. Divide among 4 warm plates, scatter tarragon on each and serve.

SPICY CRAB LINGUINE WITH MUSTARD, CRèME FRAîCHE AND HERBS



Spicy Crab Linguine with Mustard, Crème Fraîche and Herbs image

This pasta dish is impressive, but it is barely any work at all, ideal for an impromptu gathering. The sauce is just warm crème fraîche, highly seasoned, along with a shower of herbs, and just enough green chile to cut the richness. (If you don't want chile, increase the mustard and black pepper, and add lime zest.) Obviously, you'll want the freshest sweetest crabmeat available. Substitute lobster if you can't get crab, or use small shrimp, briefly cooked in butter, and feel free to vary the herbs - basil, mint, dill or chervil would be most welcome.

CRAB LINGUINE WITH BROCCOLI AND TOMATOES



Crab Linguine with Broccoli and Tomatoes image

This is a recipe I made up one night with the ingredients I had on hand. It's very quick to make and it has a great deal of flavor from the "crispy" garlic. Try alternate/additional veggies -- mushrooms, red bell pepper, zucchini, spinach, artichokes, peapods, etc. Or substitute shrimp or scallops for the crab. Most dry or fresh pastas would work in this recipe.

LINGUINE WITH CRAB IN SPICY WHITE WINE SAUCE image

Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Dinner     Bacon

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt, to taste
1 lb. linguine
⅓ cup olive oil
4 oz. pancetta or bacon, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 Fresno or 2 Holland chiles, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 lb. precooked king or snow crab legs, defrosted if frozen, cut into 3″ pieces and cracked using a mallet
⅓ cup dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp. finely chopped chives
1 tsp. grated lemon zest, plus 1 tbsp. fresh juice

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving ½ cup pasta water; set aside. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes.

  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Crab linguine is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
