Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup loosely packed diced sourdough country bread
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 pints cherry tomatoes (about 50)
1/4 cup sliced garlic (5 or 6 cloves)
Leaves from 6 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped
12 ounces spaghetti
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
1 bunch arugula, heavy stems removed (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons oil and the chopped garlic. Spread in a small baking pan and bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes, tossing from time to time. Let cool.
  • Turn heat up to 450 degrees. Place the tomatoes in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the sliced garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, a pinch of chopped oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a baking pan and roast about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes start to burst. Remove from the oven.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente. Meanwhile, grind the bread cubes in a blender to make crumbs. Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and cook until lightly colored. Add the roasted tomatoes and their juices, reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes. Fold in the crab meat and remaining oregano.
  • When the spaghetti is done, remove a cup of the water and add to the tomatoes. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the pan. Adjust seasoning. Fold in the arugula, toss the spaghetti well, transfer to a large warm bowl or individual plates, dust with the bread crumbs and serve.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound fettuccine
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup dry white wine
Two 14-ounce cans cherry or baby Roma tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for shells
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Torn basil leaves, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallots, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, then bring to a boil and cook until almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the crabmeat and butter, stirring until the butter is emulsified. Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, and sprinkle the plain pasta with the Parmesan before stirring. Using two spoons, toss well to coat.
  • Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, adding additional pasta water as needed, 2 more minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with additional Parmesan and torn basil, if desired.
