Crab Meat Aurora Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• At the same time, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in imitation crab and heat for 2 minutes.
• Begin cooking rotini. Add to the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• While the pasta is cooking, stir half-and-half and parsley into the crab sauce; bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer crab sauce, adding pasta water as necessary, while pasta is finishing.
• Drain pasta.
• Mix Parmesan cheese into crab sauce and heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter.
• Add onion and cook about 5 minutes or until translucent.
• Reduce heat to medium and add tomatoes. Cook about 10 minutes.
• Add cream, salt, and pepper - cooking another 5 minutes until thickened.
• Flake and pick through lump crabmeat, then add crab to sauce along with lemon juice.
• Add pasta to skillet and heat through.
• Plate pasta and sprinkle each serving with chives and cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Put oil, garlic, chilies and a pinch of salt in a saucepan large enough to hold cooked pasta and turn heat to medium-low. Cook, shaking pan, until garlic just begins to color; turn off heat.
• When water boils, cook pasta. When it is just about done, turn heat under oil back to low and add crab; stir once or twice. Drain pasta (reserve a bit of cooking water), and toss it in crab sauce to coat. If mixture seems a bit dry, add reserved cooking water or more olive oil. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and serve.
