Steps:
- Crush the dill seed, mustard, and cumin in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Pour the spices into a 5 gallon stockpot along with the chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, rosemary, thyme, dill, sage, and parsley. Fill the pot 3/4 full with water, and bring to a rolling boil over an intense flame.
- Add the blue crabs, cover the pot, and boil until all of the shells turn red, and the meat is no longer translucent, about 20 minutes. Stir the crabs occasionally as they boil to ensure even cooking.

ITALIAN BLUE CRAB SAUCE
This is our Xmas Eve dinner every year. Also, my all time favorite pasta dish! This tradition started because Catholics did not eat meat on Christmas Eve and they sought out seafood based pasta dishes to serve instead. All ingredients are approximations since we never really measure anything. Alter to suit your family's tastes! THIS RECIPE SHOULD BE MADE ONE DAY AHEAD TO ALLOW THE CRAB FLAVORING TO PERMEATE THE MARINARA!
