Ingredients

  • 8 oz crab meat
  • 10 oz Linguine pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to directions on packaging. Once cooked, reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water.
  • In a pan over medium heat sauté the garlic, red pepper flakes and roasted red peppers. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Follow that up with the reserved pasta water and heavy cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the sauce thickens, add the cooked pasta and mix until combined.
  • Then, gently fold in the crab meat. This will help keep the pieces intact.
  • Finish with fresh parsley and give it one final toss.
  • Serve with parmesan cheese if you’d like and enjoy!
