Had spaghetti with crab for my tea. I had picked up some dressed crab from Aldi and had been thinking about using it. My original plan was to have a crab salad, but in the end, I thought I would have a crab pasta dish.
I looked over a few recipes and, in the end, I did the following, mainly based on what I had in the fridge. I cooked some spaghetti and whilst that was cooking in a large frying pan, I added some olive oil and some finely chopped red onion. When the red onion was cooked, I then added half a glass of white wine. Drinking the rest of the glass I mixed the onion, oil and wine. I then removed the pan from the heat and added the brown crab meat which I stirred into the contents of the pan. Once the pasta was cooked, I put the sauce back on the heat, I drained the spaghetti and added it to the pan and ensured the spaghetti was fully coated with the sauce. I removed the pan from the heat and added the white crab meat. I added freshly chopped parsley and seasoned with black pepper, upon tasting I also added some salt.
Now I was quite impressed with myself on the look of the dish, however I was less impressed with the taste. The pasta was great, but the crab sauce was underwhelming and a little too grainy for me. Glad I cooked it, but not sure I would cook it again.
