Ingredients

Salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut into 1/8-inch dice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 pound Dungeness crabmeat
1 pound spaghettini (recommended: DeCecco brand)

Directions

Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a 12 to 14-inch saute pan. Add garlic and saute until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add jalapenos and wine and bring to boil. Add crabmeat and remove from heat.

Boil spaghetti 1 minute less than stated on the package instructions and drain in colander over sink.

Add pasta to crab mixture and return to heat. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 45 seconds. Pour into a warm serving bowl and serve.

Homemade Goodness!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Taste you can only get at home. You couldn't pay someone to make it taste like this if you tried!I modified the recipe just a... bit and added some basil and diced red onion. I didn't have any dry white wine so I replaced it with chicken broth which worked just as well. Instead of sliced garlic: I crushed them, cut them in half hot dog style and let them sit in the olive oil for favor until they started turning brown then took them out. Also, a little lemon always goes a long way, especially with seafood!Read more

I only had canned crab and canned jalapenos and it was still very tasty.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for dinner with some alterations. We're not a big fan of garlic and too much jalapeno, so I used half of... the garlic amount and pickled jalapenos and kept everything else the same. The result was delicious, the spaghetti definitely absorbed the mixture and it left a just right spiciness taste in your mouth after each forkful. I definitely would make this again, next time with slightly less crab. Excellent recipe!Read more

Tasty!

I was skeptical. I didn't think this combo would be good. I was wrong. Made it again with imitation crab and pickled... jalapenos. Cheaper and still pretty good.Read more
