My Dad'S Crab Pasta

1. 1

   Heat 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and shallots and salt and pepper. They do not want to take on color so if they start to char add a little of the wine so they steam a little. When the leeks and shallots begin to become translucent, about 3-5 minutes, add in 1/2 of the wine and reduce.

2. 2

   Boil heavily salted water for the pasta. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes or as directed on the box for al dente.

3. 3

   Once the wine has reduced by half add in crab and saute, salt again to taste as needed. Once the crab has been heated, again about 3-5 minutes add in remaining wine, butter and red pepper, cook for another 3 minutes. Add in cream, heat to warm.

4. 4

   Drain pasta and toss with remaining olive oil. To serve family style layer the pasta, crab sauce, parmesan and parsley in a wide bowl. Squeeze lemon juice on top and lightly toss.
