Crab Fettuccine with Tomato Sauce 🦀 🍅 ♥️

I love this recipe for so many reasons! 1) It is fancy enough for impressing guests. 2) It is easy and quick to make. 3) My five year old ate it and asked for seconds! 🤯 The original recipe didn’t include the addition of roasted cherry tomatoes, but I feel as though they nicely elevated this dish 🧑🏼‍🍳

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 to 8 people

Cooking time :

~30 minutes

3/4 pound

fettuccine

2 teaspoons

olive oil

shallots, diced (enough for about 1 cup)

2-3 cloves

garlic, minced

1/2 cup

dry white wine

2 (14 ounce)

cans cherry or baby Roma tomatoes OR 1 (28 oz) can whole San Marzano tomatoes

1 teaspoon

kosher salt

1 teaspoon

white sugar

1/2 teaspoon

dried oregano

1 cup

jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for shells (fresh or canned is fine)

2 tablespoons

unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup

shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

8 oz

fresh cherry tomatoes

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Assemble the ingredients. Begin heating a large pot of salted water on the stove so that you can boil the pasta.

* Step 2

Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add the shallots and sauté for about 4 minutes or until translucent and fragrant.

* Step 3

Add the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook while stirring constantly for about 1 minute.

* Step 4

Add the white wine, and bring to a boil and cook for a couple of minutes until the liquid is mostly evaporated.

* Step 5

Add the tomatoes and oregano. Stir well, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. I used a pair of cooking shears to carefully cut the large tomatoes once they were in the pot.

* Step 6

Add the crabmeat and butter, stirring until the butter is emulsified. Set aside while you get the pasta ready.

* Step 7

Boil the pasta for ⭐️2 minutes less⭐️ than the package directions. When you drain the pasta, save 1 cup of the water!

* Step 8

Add the pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Sprinkle the plain pasta with the Parmesan before stirring. Using two spoons, toss well to coat.

* Step 9

Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, adding additional pasta water as needed, for 2 more minutes.

* Step 10

Serve sprinkled with additional Parmesan and some sliced basil, if you like.

* Step 11

For the optional roasted cherry tomatoes: 🍅 Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray. 🍅 Halve the cherry tomatoes, and spread them into a single layer on the cooking sheet.

* Step 12

🍅 Lightly brush the tomatoes with olive oil, and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until softened and slightly browned. 🍅 Spoon a few roasted tomatoes over the pasta when serving.
