Crab Meat & Pasta

Seafood Scampi  : White or Red

This dish has become a favorite not only for me but for everyone that I enjoy it with. It is really simple and ounce you make it ounce or twice both ways you will be able to make it with ease. I always use at least three of the following Shrimp, Crab Meat & Clam Sauce. You can add or take away from this but I find these offer the best flavor.

White:

- 4 tbs of E.V.O
- 1 Chopped Onion
- 4-6 dices cloves of Garlic

Seafood Sauce

When making both of these sauces it is best to use a deeper dish saute pan, this allows you to make the sauce and add the pasta afterwords. Also, make sure to start out with your fresh ingredients prepped & cooked for whatever you want to add and make sure they are cooked and ready to go into the sauce, before assembling the sauce. For this sauce we used Crab-meat & Clams to add. Once again make sure you cook all ingredients before adding to sauce.

White: For the base of the White sauce start out with a 1/2 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of E.V.O over medium heat. Once the butter has melted you can add in your Whole Onion, 4 cloves of Garlic & your fresh chopped Basil. Then you can add your can of 12oz Italian Style Clam-sauce. Mix together. Then you can start adding your Crab-meat, I like my Crab-meat to be finer so I chopped it and added it a little at a time all while mixing. Add now your fresh clams or other ingredients, cooked shrimp, fish, scallops or anything else you want. Once you have everything together that you want, you can Salt & Pep to taste. Leave over Medium heat for 10 minutes and then bring down to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Red: For the base of the Red sauce start out with some E.V.O and 2 cans of Tomato paste over a medium flame. Then add in your whole chopped Onion, 4 cloves of Garlic, a 1/4 cup of sugar & freshly chopped Basil. Add in your 12oz can of Italian Style Clam-sauce. Mix. Then add in your Ingredients, if they are not cooked make sure you cook them. Once you have everything together than add your Salt & Pep to taste. Leave over Medium heat for 10 minutes and then bring down to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Now once your pasta has cooked Al dente, then drain and add to sauce, mix together. Let the pasta finish cooking for 5 minutes in the sauce. Then get ready for a delicious Seafood Dinner! Suo Tutto Mangiare!!!
