Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 pound spaghettini (recommended: DeCecco brand)

Directions

    This was very easy to make and has a real fresh flavor. I took the advice of the other reviewers and 1 doubled the wine, 2 added a pat of butter at the last cooking stage, and 3 added a little lemon juice and zest at the end. The jallapenos really mellow and compliment the sweet crab. This will be added to my recipe list of fresh, quick recipes.

    I Did Not Like this - At All. The garlic and the jalapeno had a somewhat bitter taste that did not complement the delicate tender crab. After eating this, I realized how much better it would have been if leeks had been substituted for the jalapeno and if cognac had been substituted for the wine and cream and/or butter added. I would not make this recipe as written ever again.

    Excellent! My husband said it was the best seafood pasta he has ever had! I did add a few tablespoons butter into the pasta after cooked. I also added some lemon zest. I bought the lump crab from CostCo and it was so fresh with huge chunks of crab.
