Steps:
- Blitz the pasta ingredients in a food processor until they clump together - if too wet, add some more flour. Roll into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins.
- Once rested, cut the pasta in half. Flatten one half, then roll with a rolling pin until it can fit into the widest setting of a pasta machine. Feed the dough through the machine, then fold it in three and pass it through this setting again. Pass it through once more, then give it a quarter turn so it fits through and roll through the widest setting again. Continue to run through the pasta machine, gradually reducing the settings to thinnest. Once you've run it through the thinnest setting, put the dough on a floured surface and repeat with the other half.
- Once both halves are rolled out, lay them flat on the surface. Square off the ends and any ragged edges, cut both in half and dust with semolina. Loosely fold each of the four lengths over itself into three, then, using a sharp knife, cut into 2cm strips and dust well with semolina. Put on a semolina-dusted tray and leave to dry out for 30 mins-1 hr (or longer) until it feels leathery.
- Cook the broad beans in boiling water for 2 mins, then drain and cool. Use your nails to pierce the skin, then squeeze the bright green bean into a bowl.
- When the pasta has dried out, make the sauce. Heat the olive oil and fennel seeds in a non-stick saucepan for a min, then add the shallots, parsley stalks, garlic and chilli. Meanwhile, boil a pan of well salted water. Cook the shallot mix for about 5-8 mins, stirring, until softened and aromatic, then add the tomatoes and parsley leaves and cook for a few more mins until the tomatoes are breaking down - add a splash of water if it starts to dry out. Stir in the brown crabmeat and some lemon juice. Reduce the heat while you cook the pasta.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 2-3 mins until al dente. Drain, reserving the pasta water, then add the pasta to the saucepan and turn the heat up to medium high. Add 1 tbsp of the pasta water and shake the pan to emulsify the sauce, using tongs to coat the pasta. Add the white crabmeat, the broad beans and some more lemon juice and stir to coat. Season and add more lemon juice to taste. Divide between plates, top with the chives and tarragon and sprinkle with cayenne pepper, if you like.

From the shores of Montauk, New York, a beautiful village at the eastern end of Long Island, a delicious recipe for Crab Pappardelle. Shared by Ron Rosselli, the culinary director for The Surf Lodge, it features jumbo-lump crab meat in a bed of pappardelle pasta, with garlic, scallions, fresh mint, Fresno chili and clam juice. Described by Vogue as a hotel-meets-bar-meets-club-meets Instagram location and a perfect location for mingling, The Surf Lodge is simple, yet luxurious and the epitome of beach living: sun-bleached floors, hammocks, and artwork by surfers and surf lovers throughout the property. Its restaurant provides an open-air setting serving up a variety of seafood fresh off the fishing boats in Montauk Harbor. Produce comes from local farms. Restaurant at The Surf Lodge. Chef Rosselli brings a wealth of culinary expertise to the table, having worked at Café Boulud, Locanda Verde, and The Standard Grill. His menu draws from Italian and Mediterranean influences with light, flavorful coastal dishes, such as the Crab Pappardelle shared below. His Chef de Cuisine Angela Bazan studied at the French Culinary Institute and has worked with such notables as Jean George and Bobby Flay before joining Chef Rosselli.

Steps:
- 1 Put a large pot of salted water on the oven and bring to a boil. 2 Heat a large sauce pot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and butter, then stir to combine. 3 Add sliced garlic, Fresno and scallion bottoms (whites) and stir together to combine; reduce heat to low. 4 Add salt and continue cooking until garlic and scallions become translucent and everything becomes soft. Don't allow the garlic to take color. 5 Add 1 cup of clam juice to the pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. The clam juice should not reduce or you'll end up with salty pasta. 6 At this point, start cooking pasta until it's al dente, roughly 7-8 minutes. Drain very well. Add to sauce. Reserve pasta water. 7 Return pan back to low heat and add crab meat and lightly toss, so crab meat begins to warm through. Begin to stir well so sauce begins adhering to the pasta. If pasta looks dry, add some of the remaining clam juice. 8 Finish pasta with fresh lemon juice, half the chopped mint and scallions tops (greens) and stir to combine. 9 Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl. Top with some of the remaining mint, scallion tops and toasted breadcrumbs.

- Rinse beans with cold water; place in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover beans by 2 inches; let soak overnight. Drain. Return beans to same pan. Add enough cold water to cover beans by 3 to 4 inches.

Add 1 teaspoon coarse salt; let beans cool in cooking liquid. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill in cooking liquid. Before using, drain beans, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
- Lightly butter 1-quart baking dish. Combine crab, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl; chill.
- Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add chopped celery, garlic, and cayenne; stir 2 minutes. Add beans and 1/4 cup cooking liquid; cook until heated through, mashing beans coarsely, about 2 minutes. Add Crescenza cheese; stir until melted. Fold in crab mixture and 2 tablespoons parsley.

- Crescenza cheese is a soft-ripened cow's-milk cheese traditionally made in Italy. Look for it at your local cheese store, or order it online from bellwethercheese.com or mozzco.com.
- What to drink:
- Try a crisp California Chardonnay with the appetizers. We like the Cakebread Cellars 2007 Napa Valley Chardonnay ($39). It's bright and fruity, with notes of lemon zest and pear. The Napa Valley winery, which was founded in 1973, is currently run by four members of the Cakebread family.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 6-8 minutes or until al dente. Drain well and return to the pan. Add the beef and toss to combine. Divide between serving bowls and top with the pecorino. Sprinkle with pepper and parsley to serve.
Tips:
- For the pappardelle dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Semolina flour will give the pasta a slightly nutty flavor and a more al dente texture.
- Be sure to rest the pappardelle dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and become more pliable, making it easier to roll out.
- When rolling out the pappardelle dough, use a pasta machine or a rolling pin. If using a rolling pin, be sure to dust the dough with flour to prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the pappardelle pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until it is al dente, or cooked through but still firm to the bite.
- For the crab sauce, use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you are using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Add the broad beans to the crab sauce at the end of cooking. This will help them to retain their bright green color.
- Season the crab sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Serve the pappardelle with crab sauce immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.
Conclusion:
This homemade pappardelle with crab and broad beans is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pappardelle pasta is made from scratch and has a slightly nutty flavor and a more al dente texture than regular pasta. The crab sauce is made with fresh crab meat, broad beans, and a light tomato sauce. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of fresh parsley or basil. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy the flavors of spring.
