Ingredients
- ½ tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 3 banana shallots very finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced (I used a garlic press)
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tbsp sugar
- 4 fresh tomatoes seeds removed, diced
- 120 (½ cup) dry white wine or vermouth
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 200 g (1 ½ cups) brown crab meat fresh or canned
- 200 g (1 ½ cups) white crab meat fresh or canned
- 4 tbsp grated parmesan
- 400 g (14oz) linguine cooked al dente
- reserved pasta water as needed
- 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley very finely chopped
- pinch chilli flakes to serve
Instructions
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large chef's pan and heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
- Add the shallots, garlic, salt and sugar. Cook, stirring, over low heat for five minutes or until the shallots have softened.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about a minute.
- Add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Increase the heat and cook for about five minutes or until the wine aroma disappears.
- Add the brown crab meat and stir into the sauce.
- Meanwhile cook the linguine while you prepare the sauce. Prepare according to packet instructions – cooked in salted water till al dente. Reserve about 120ml (1/2 cup) of the pasta water before draining.
- Stir the pasta into the sauce and add the white crab meat and parmesan. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Toss with the parsley to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Serve with the parsley and chilli flakes.
