Parmesan isn't usually served with seafood pasta, but the cheese adds a nice richness to this linguine. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped |
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
12 ounces linguine |
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice |
1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley |
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted |
freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper; cover and cook 2 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cover and cook 2 minutes. Increase heat to high, add wine and boil 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
3. Return pasta to pot. Add clam juice, 1/2 cup cooking water and bell pepper mixture. Cook over high heat until pasta absorbs half of liquid, about 2 minutes. Add crab and toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Mix in parsley. Season to taste with pepper. Divide pasta among bowls. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve, passing cheese separately.
