Light pasta sauce

Planning a pasta dish that's lighter and whiter than the traditional tomato based sauces? Try this delicious crabmeat pasta sauce.

Ingredients

1 pound crab (cooked crab meat, coarsely flaked)
2 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)
2 teaspoons parsley (fresh leaves)
1 chili pepper (small, hot, if you like it hot)

Instructions

Add the crabmeat, oil and garlic to a 3-quart pot and brown the meat to a golden color.

Then add the other ingredients, all but the red pepper, and simmer for about half an hour.

Then crush the red pepper and add to the final mixture.

Notes

This sauce will amaze your diners.

Substitute water for the same amount of fish stock for more flavor. Substitute the liquidor for the same amount of pasatta or tomato sauce for a red sauce.
