GARLICKY CRAB WITH PASTA
This recipe calls for king crab legs but Dungeness also works really well. It's best to use frozen crab so that you can defrost it on your own schedule. Also, add in other stuff, such as sliced green onions or fresh basil leaves or even sliced jalapeno peppers if you like. This is a Chicago Tribune recipe.

SPAGHETTI LEGS

Tips:
- When choosing spaghetti, look for a high-quality pasta made from durum wheat. This type of wheat has a higher protein content, which results in a firmer, more al dente texture.
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Be sure to salt the water before adding the pasta, as this will help to flavor it.
- To prevent the spaghetti from sticking together, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the cooking water.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it well and rinse it with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the pasta from becoming mushy.
- Serve the spaghetti immediately with your favorite sauce. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese, herbs, or vegetables to taste.
