Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced very small
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I add a little more)
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes
1/2 cup salt-free fish stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 bay leaf
1/2 lb flaked crabmeat, with bones removed
cooked pasta, of your choice

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic, bell pepper and red pepper flakes over moderate heat.
  • When they sizzle, add the tomatoes, crushing them with your hands.
  • Stir in the fish stock, tomato paste, parsley, sugar, lemon zest and bay leaf.
  • Simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, until thick but still fairly liquid.
  • Then stir in the crabmeat and continue simmering until the sauce is thick, 3-5 minutes more.
  • Serve over hot cooked pasta such as spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine or fettuccelli.
