INGREDIENTS:

-8 oz mini shell pasta
-5 oz imitation Crab meat
-1/4 cup frozen peas

​

SAUCE:

-3/4 cup heavy cream
-2 Tbsp butter
-drizzle of olive oil
-1 tsp minced garlic
-1 tsp salt
-dash of cayenne pepper
-1/2 tsp parsley
-1/2 tsp basil

-1/2 tsp garlic powder 
-1/4 cup parmesan cheese
 

 

​

METHOD:

Boil 2 quarts of water and add pasta.  Add frozen peas to boiling water and cook until pasta is to your liking.  I prefer al denté (which is just undercooked to where the pasta is still firm.)  Then cook the crab meat in a frying pan with some olive oil until the crab is crispy on the edges. 

Now for the sauce, add in all ingredients listed above with the crab meat and simmer for about 5 minutes.  After sauce thickens, add it to your pasta.  

Top with some grated Parmesan and enjoy!
