Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 cup thinly sliced spring onion or scallions
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces fresh fettuccine, or Fresh Pasta, recipe follows
1/2 Fresno chile, thinly sliced
4 ounces jumbo lump crab meat, picked
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 cup ground Parmigiano-Reggiano
400 grams "00" flour (about 3 cups), plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt.
  • Heat the olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and spring onions in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the white wine and allow it to reduce, about 1 minute. Add the cream, then let come to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to thicken.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook to al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Fresno to the sauce and simmer for another minute. Turn off the heat, then stir the crab and lemon juice into the sauce. Strain the pasta directly into the sauce and gently stir to marry the sauce with the pasta. (Save a little pasta water just in case, to thin the sauce if needed.)
  • Add the butter, dill, parsley, tarragon and salt to taste; the sauce should begin to glaze the pasta. Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and pepper. If the pasta is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a bowl and mix. Place the flour in a mound on a clean work surface. Make a well in the center of the flour. Crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork, whisk the eggs and add the oil. Slowly and carefully mix the flour into the eggs with the fork, making sure not to break through the walls of the flour mound. Once the eggs are incorporated into the flour and a dough starts to form, you can use your hands to incorporate the remaining flour and knead it into a dough. Once the dough is formed, knead for about 5 minutes. (You can also make the dough in a stand mixer.)
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour.
  • On a floured work surface, roll the dough with a rolling pin into a rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Lightly flour the top, then gently roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Unravel and lay out the fettucine on a lightly floured sheet pan. (You can also run the dough through a pasta machine per the manufacturer's instructions.)

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 pounds live crab
1/4 cup coriander seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
Sea salt
5 1/2 ounces white wine vinegar
2 ounces desiccated coconut
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
5 garlic cloves
1 large green chile, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium ripe tomato, diced
10 fresh curry leaves
1/2 ounce fresh turmeric, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon chile powder
9 ounces unsweetened coconut milk

Steps:

  • Place the crab in the freezer for 2 hours or until it stops moving. Remove the legs and crack them with a rolling pin. Remove the top of the shell and clean out the insides with your fingers. Chop the crab and top shells in half.
  • Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns and stir constantly until the seeds become toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely.
  • To make the paste, grind the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns with a pinch of salt using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Transfer the spice mixture to a food processor and add the vinegar, coconut, ginger, garlic, chile and onions and blend to form a paste.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy, large, wide pot over low heat. Add the paste and saute until fragrant and some of the juices evaporate, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato, curry leaves, turmeric, chili powder and a pinch of salt and cook until the tomato pieces are tender and melting into the sauce, 5 minutes. Add the crab and 4 1/2 ounces water, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer or until the crab pieces are cooked through, 10 minutes. Mix in the coconut milk and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Divide the crab pieces and sauce among shallow wide soup plates and serve immediately.
