Crab Pasta

This 30-minute crab pasta recipe is so elegant and something a little different for a special occasion! It has a lovely parmesan cream sauce with Italian herbs and fresh tomatoes.
Delicately sweet, succulent crab meat shines in this easy yet impressive pasta. I paired it with bucatini, which in my opinion is the fanciest pasta variety. There aren’t many other ingredients here to keep the crab the star, and they’re all everyday ingredients!
Italian seasoning, a touch of bright lemon and Dijon, and fresh tomatoes really complement the crab. I recommend serving this one for date night or a holiday like Valentine’s Day, but nothing is stopping you from enjoying it on any old weeknight since it’s so simple!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces uncooked bucatini (or other pasta)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Juice and zest of 1/2 medium lemon (about 1 tbsp juice)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 8 ounces cooked crab meat
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + extra for serving
- Salt & pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or to taste
