Ingredients

• 12 oz Spinach fettuccine
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup White wine
• 8 oz Fresh lump crab meat
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the white wine and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the mixture to reduce slightly.

Step 4

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 4-5 minutes until thickened.

Step 5

Add the fresh lump crab meat, lemon zest, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir carefully to combine without breaking up the crab too much. Cook for 2-3 more minutes to heat the crab through.

Step 6

Toss the cooked spinach fettuccine into the skillet with the crab sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta and give everything a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
