CRAB & ASPARAGUS FETTUCCINE
“Flavour-packed, the crab adds a wonderful zap to this fresh pasta dish. It works as a starter or main course, perfect for a quick supper on a cold winter’s night. Adding the browned butter at the end may sound fattening, and you’d be correct, but it is essential for that touch of magic.” |

Preparation and cooking: 20 minutes
Serves: 4-6
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, finely diced
1 teaspoon soft thyme leaves
2 teaspoons anchovy essence
150ml (¼ pint) dry white wine
150ml (¼ pint) fish stock
Salt and ground black pepper
450g (11b) asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2.5cm (1") pieces
350g (12oz) white crabmeat
675g (1½lb) fresh fettuccine
55g (2oz) unsalted butter
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan, add the shallot and cook gently until soft but not brown. Add the thyme, anchovy essence, wine and fish stock and bring to the boil. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 6 minutes. Drain, retaining the water, and add to the reduced shallot liquid with the crab.
- Cook the fettuccine in the asparagus water for about 3-4 minutes, depending on its freshness. Drain and add to the crab sauce.
- To finish, heat the butter in a frying pan until nutty and golden, add the lemon juice and parsley, and pour over the pasta. Toss to combine. Season to taste with plenty of black pepper.
