- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic. Stir for two minutes. Add the tomatoes and the wine, increase heat to a achieve a simmer. The tomatoes should start to break down but not get too saucy. Tomatoes can vary depending on variety but this takes around 5 minutes.
- The pasta should be cooking and ready at this same point.
- Pour the pasta in a bowl and toss briefly with the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Add the sauce, then crab and chives. Let sit for a minute. Top with parsley. Offer pepper to taste.
