Strozzapreti with crab and lemon sauce

strozzapreti

Yesterday we had cha ca and fresh spring rolls for dinner, so there was some crab meat left.

Something had to be done with it today…

Here a pasta with dish I really like and which is very simple.

Of course you can  do it with every pasta type but I really like the curly types. We brought Strozzapreti  home from Sardinia, they are a good choice for this dish.

Cook the Strozzapreti in lot’s of salt water. Meanwhile slightly  fry some garlic in olive oil, I used fresh one from the garden, add chili flakes salt and pepper. Add the zest of one lemon. And the crabmeat and 1dl of the pasta water.

When the pasta are done mix with the crab sauce and ad 5 tbsp of double cream.

Decorate with some lemon basil if you can finde.
