WHITE SAUCE CRAB PASTA



White Sauce Crab Pasta image

This is a creation of my own that resulted from too much white sauce when I made another recipe from here. So, I played around with what I had in the house and came up with this tasty meal. It actually uses imitation crabmeat instead of real crab. It's very mild, so feel free to spice it up if you prefer.

PASTA WITH NED'S CREAMY CRAB SAUCE



Pasta with Ned's Creamy Crab Sauce image

In the minds of many West Coast chefs, the Dungeness crab is the ocean's finest crustacean. Canadian chef Ned Bell, who attended the 2004 Workshop, showcases the sweet meat in this pasta sauce, which gets some of its creamy body from pureed cauliflower. The dish is rich and worthy of the spotlight, so balance it with a simple butter lettuce salad in a tangy vinaigrette.

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups (about 1/2 medium head) chopped raw cauliflower
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup mascarpone
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pound short dried pasta, such as fusilli or penne
1 cup grated aged white Cheddar cheese
1/2 pound Dungeness crab meat
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower, milk, chile flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring just to a simmer, then adjust the heat to simmer gently. Cook, uncovered, until the cauliflower is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Puree in a blender. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the mascarpone and mustard.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and boil until al dente. Drain and return the pasta to the warm pot. Add the cauliflower sauce and Cheddar and toss over moderately low heat until the cheese melts. Taste for salt. Add the crab meat and chives and toss again. Serve immediately in warm bowls.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay or another full-bodied white wine.
