Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
  • About 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or canned lump crabmeat
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • The trick with pasta is to have as much water in the pot as possible.
  • This prevents the pasta from sticking together when it gets starchy as it cooks.
  • Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to instructions on the package.
  • Over high heat, heat the oil in a large pan.
  • Add the garlic and turn the heat down to medium.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes and mix well.
  • Add the sun-dried tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes, and then remove from the heat.
  • Add the lump crabmeat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately with the chopped fresh parsley.
