Spaghetti in a creamy tomato sauce with snow crab.

Starting only fourty years ago, snow crab harvesting is now Quebec's most lucrative commercial fishing harvest. Coming from the Bas Saint-Laurent and Côte-Nord region, 90% of these shellfish are exported to the United States and Japan.

Ingredients

160 g gluten free/wheat free spaghetti
1 tbsp Garlic-Infused Oil 15 mL
1 tbsp Parsley Base 15 mL
2/3 cup canned tomatoes (diced) 170 g
2 snow crab legs, cooked, or Alaskan crab 260 g
1/4 cup lactose free cream 10% 65 mL
1 pinch salt [optional]
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 pinch cayenne pepper 0.1 g

Before you start

Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.

Method

  1. To save time, the sauce preparation and the pasta cooking can be done at the same time. Start by cooking the pasta.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the garlic-infused oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the parsley base, then add the diced tomatoes and cook uncovered, with occasional stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste, and a pinch of cayenne if desired.
  3. While the sauce and pasta are cooking, shell the cooked crab meat, using a nutcracker. Add it to the pan at the very last minute, just to warm it up. Add the cream.
  4. Pour the drained spaghetti over the sauce and toss gently. Serve in the warmed dishes.
