Yes, I am still here. I am sorry I haven't posted anything new recently! I have been cooking, I just haven't had time to post on the blog! I have a small photography business, and I am slammed! Combine that with three busy kids, homeschooling, and everything else life throws at us, the blog took a vacation. =) This was so good! I actually used canned crab, so I can't even imagine how good this would be with fresh crab! My kids loved it too. I served it over fettuccine, but you could use any pasta.
Creamy Crab Pasta
slightly adapted from Body Fuel
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Teaspoon Fresh Garlic, Minced
1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 large Tomato, diced (about one cup)
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Brown Sugar
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Green Peas, Cooked
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1 Tablespoon Parsley
8 Ounces- 1 pound Crab Meat
1 Teaspoon Fresh Lemon Zest
your choice of pasta
Directions:
Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute until it becomes golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomato, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to create a light sauce. Add in the cream and bring to a boil. When it starts to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and add the sweet peas, Parmesan, and parsley. Stir and let it thicken for about 8 minutes. While it is simmering, cook the pasta. Mix in the crab meat and heat through, about 2 minutes. Top your cooked pasta with the crab mixture. Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.

This is nice. Guess you can do this to tuna or minced beef too. Probably some onions and mushrooms will add some good flavors. :)
