• 8 sun-dried tomato halves
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large shallot, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
• 1/2 pound fresh Dungeness or lump crabmeat, carefully picked over
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
• 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound farfalle

1. In a small nonreactive heat-proof bowl, cover the sun-dried tomato halves with the boiling water and set aside until softened, about 20 minutes.

3. Fill a large pot with water, cover and bring to a boil.
4. Meanwhile, in a large nonreactive saucepan, heat the olive oil.
5. Add the shallot and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
7. Add the wine and boil over high heat until almost evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
9. Gently stir in the crabmeat and oregano and cook until heated though, about 2 minutes.
10. Remove from the pan from the heat and add the butter; stir until smooth.
11. Season with salt and pepper.
12. Add salt and the farfalle to the boiling water.
13. Cover partially until the water just returns to a boil, then uncover, stir the pasta and cook until al dente.
