SNOW CRAB PASTA PARMESAN

Category: Pasta - Seafood

3 1/2 lb crab clusters
8 oz dry fettuccine
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup cooked peas
1 cup diced tomatoes
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp dried basil
1 clove garlic, pressed

Reserve 4 crab clusters for garnish. Remove crabmeat from clusters. Cook pasta al dente. While pasta is cooking, place crabmeat on microwave-safe plate. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes, until hot.

Drain pasta and toss with butter, ricotta and parmesan. Toss with crabmeat and remaining ingredients except crab clusters. Season with salt and pepper. Steam remaining crab clusters 4-5 minutes and serve alongside pasta.
