Tomato angel hair pasta with jumbo lump crabmeat

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Fresh jumbo lump crabmeat
6 ounces Butter
1 Whole tomato; finely chopped
8 larges Fresh basil leaf
1 teaspoon Fresh garlic; minced
2 teaspoons Fresh parsley; chopped
8 ounces Fresh tomato angel hair pasta

Directions

Important to the success of this dish is the use of very fresh ingredients.

This dish must be served as soon as it has been prepared. It doesn't wait! Keep a boiling pot of water with strainer ready as you begin the sauce preparation. Add butter to saute pan with garlic and basil leaves. Slightly brown the garlic as the basil leaves wilt. Add the tomato concasse (with the natural juice) and bring to a boil. At this point, place the tomato angel hair in strainer, then into the boiling water. Add chopped parsley and crabmeat to the tomato concasse mixture. Heat the crabmeat thoroughly in the sauce, but do not shred the lumps of the crabmeat with overmixing.

Fresh tomato angel hair pasta will require 90 seconds in the boiling water to cook. Remove and shake excess water from pasta.

To assemble: Place pasta in bowl and pour sauce with crabmeat over the pasta. Garnish with fresh sprig of basil and serve at once.
