WHITE SAUCE CRAB PASTA
This is a creation of my own that resulted from too much white sauce when I made another recipe from here. So, I played around with what I had in the house and came up with this tasty meal. It actually uses imitation crabmeat instead of real crab. It's very mild, so feel free to spice it up if you prefer.

WHITE SAUCE FOR PASTA
My husband lived in Italy for 3 years, so he's really picky about his Italian cuisine! I needed a great meal that was super-quick one night for his dinner; I had spicy battered shrimp on hand that I wanted to use and a couple choices of dried pasta. This sauce sounded perfect to tie it all together! Served over tortiglioni pasta with salad and toasted Italian bread. Just like I spent all day on dinner. It is really hard to mess-up this kind of white sauce. In my opinion, it was very much like an Alfredo sauce! Of course there is very little difference in the two sauces.

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the linguine. Give it a good stir and boil for 1 min less than the pack says. Stir well occasionally so it doesn't stick.
- While the pasta cooks, gently heat 3 tbsp of olive oil with the chilli and garlic in a pan large enough to hold all the pasta comfortably. Cook the chilli and garlic very gently until they start to sizzle, then turn up the heat and add the white wine. Simmer everything until the wine and olive oil come together. Then take off the heat and add the brown crabmeat, using a wooden spatula or spoon to mash it into the olive oil to make a thick sauce.
- When the pasta has had its cooking time, taste a strand - it should have a very slight bite. When it's ready, turn off the heat. Place the sauce on a very low heat and use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift the pasta from the water into the sauce.
- Off the heat, add the white crabmeat and parsley to the pasta with a sprinkling of sea salt. Stir everything together really well, adding a drop of pasta water if it's starting to get claggy. Taste for seasoning and, if it needs a slight lift, add a small squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately twirled into pasta bowls and drizzled with the remaining oil.

Tips:
- For the perfect crab pasta, use fresh, high-quality crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give the dish a more delicate flavor and texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your crab pasta dish. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of white sauce. You can use a classic Alfredo sauce, a creamy pesto sauce, or even a tangy tomato-based sauce.
- Serve crab pasta with a side of crusty bread or garlic bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Crab pasta is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its creamy sauce, succulent crab meat, and colorful vegetables, crab pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crab pasta a try.
