Restaurant-style Crab Cream Pasta with Canned Crabmeat
- 90 to 100 grams Pasta (short or long, either one is fine)
- 50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
- 30 ml A. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small clove A. Garlic (very finely chopped)
- 1/4 Onion (roughly chopped)
- 30 ml B. Milk
- 70 ml B. Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp B. White wine (or sake)
- 1 tsp B. Butter (optional)
- 50 grams B. Canned crabmeat
- 1 C. Parsley, green onion, any green garnish
- 1 C. Black pepper (whole freshly ground or coarsely ground)
- 1 Salt and pepper
- Put 3 liters of water in a large point and bring to a boil (this is the pasta water).
- When it's just about to boil, ad 2 tablespoons of salt (1% salt water).
- The amount of salt in the boiling water will affect the taste of the pasta, so measure it out properly.
- When the pasta water comes to a boil, turn the heat down very low.
- Put the A. ingredients in a cold frying pan, and cook the garlic over very low heat to transfer the flavor and fragrance to the oil.
- When the garlic in Step 3 is lightly colored, add the onion and salt and pepper.
- Set the heat to low-medium.
- At the same time, put the pasta in the pasta water you brought to a boil in Step 2.
- Cook it for 30 seconds to a minute less than the time on the package.
- The heat should remain set to low.
- When the onion in Step 4 is translucent, turn the heat down to low and add the B. ingredients.
- Heat slowly.
- When the sauce starts to bubble around the edges, turn off the heat.
- Strain the al dente pasta into a colander, without totally draining off the pasta water.
- Transfer the pasta (no need to drain) to the Step 7 sauce.
- Mix the sauce and the pasta well over low-medium heat.
- When the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, turn off the heat.
- Make sure not to overcook the sauce, or it will turn grainy.
- Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with the C. ingredients, and serve.
- The only salt in the dish comes from the pasta water and the canned crabmeat, but I think it's just right.
