Crab Linguini

"A little crab goes a long way with this creamy sauce. White wine and lemon juice help to cut the richness of the evapotated milk."

  1. Loved the dish. double the sauce and crab used a pound and a half of pasta, but would leave it at a pound next time. I also added garlic salt instead of just regular.
     
  2. Yummy. This is excellent! It takes abit to put together, but it is worth it! The sauce is flavorful without being overpowering! I added some chopped shrimp to it and think next time maybe soma sauteed mushrooms!
     
  3. I doubled the sauce and it made plenty for the 3 of us! Served over linguini, it was delicious!
     
  4. This was simply FABULOUS!!!!!! I used others' comments and doubled the sauce but I also doubled the amount of pasta and the amount of crab. I found it had WAY too much sauce this way but we're not a saucey family..so that may have something to do with it. In the future, I'll still double the pasta and crab but keep the sauce quantity as is. I only had fat free evaporated milk and it was fine. I added 5 cloves of garlic to the dish with the green onions and lemons. Even my 3 and 5 year old devoured this. My son, who doesn't like sauce on anything, asked me to add more sauce to his! The crab tasted heavenly. This is definitely a company-worthy recipe. You will definitely impress with this! Thank you Barb!
