Crab Portabella Butternut Linguine Ala Saffron Recipes

CRAB LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package direction.
• On low to medium heat, saute garlic and oregano in butter for 1 minute, stir frequently.
• Add tomatoes and stir 3 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients, until cheese is melted.
• Serve sauce over hot cooked pasta.

CRAB STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil. Once heated, add the portobello stems and sliced scallions and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Fold in the crabmeat, Creole seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the mushroom caps with the last tablespoon of coconut oil. Stuff the caps with the crab filling and put into the oven to roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top with the Parmesan. Put back into the oven and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut as desired for serving.

CRAB MEAT PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the leeks and the crabs and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add the wine. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8 minutes.
• Remove the crabs from the pot and let cool to room temperature. Add saffron to the cooking liquid, stir, and reserve.
• Remove the meat and set aside in a warm place. Return any juices from the crabs to the pot.
• Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water. When al dente, drain well. Toss the pasta in the pot in which the crabs were cooked. Stir gently for 1 minute.
• Distribute pasta and sauce evenly in bowls. Garnish with crab meat.

CRAB LINGUINE WITH CHILLI & PARSLEY

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.

SMART CRAB LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the linguine following pack instructions, reserving a little cooking liquid before you drain it.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and cook gently to soften, but don't brown. Stir in the crème fraîche, crabmeat, chopped rocket and lemon zest, and gently heat through.
• Tip in the cooked pasta and a little cooking liquid to help the sauce coat the pasta. Season and give everything a stir. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and remaining rocket leaves.
