Crab Pasta With Snap Peas and Mint image

Sweet crab meat and even sweeter sugar snap peas are a lovely match in this green-flecked springtime pasta. Don't overlook the final garnish of olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and flaky sea salt - it really brings out the saline flavor of the crab. Try replacing the mint with basil or chives, or even with tender pea shoots, which will increase the pea quotient in a delightful way.
