How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 8 ounces pasta (such as linguine or casarecce)
- 4 ounces crabmeat
- 6 tablespoons butter (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (we use instant grain-free breadcrumbs)
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño, chopped (adjust to taste)
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (plus some zest)
- fresh parsley, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan often to avoid burning. Once golden, transfer the crumbs to a small bowl.
- Step 2: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following package instructions. Before draining, reserve a mug full of the starchy pasta water.
- Step 3: Warm the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the garlic begins to golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 4: Turn the heat off and add the drained pasta, crabmeat, lemon juice, some lemon zest, and a sprinkle of parsley. Add 1 tablespoon of the pasta water to loosen. Toss everything until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Serve: Divide the pasta onto plates, top with the toasted breadcrumbs, and enjoy.
