I love the simplicity of this dish, nothing overpowering the flavor of the crab. This could also be made with imitation crab. Enjoy!

How To Make ~ a little crabby pasta ~

Step 1

Prepare pasta while making the sauce as it doesn't take long. In a medium skillet, melt butter with Olive oil, over medium high heat, add onion, garlic and carrots, toss and cook just until tender, stirring often.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and add the crab, basil, lemon juice and parsley, continue cooking for just a few more minutes and stir in the salt and pepper.
Step 3

Place hot pasta in a bowl or large platter and pour the crab mixture over it. Toss to coat pasta. Can sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desire. Serve immediately.
