Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small habanero, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti, stir and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced zucchini and cook until lightly browned but still slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and habanero and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, 1 tablespoon of the butter and the reserved pasta water and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat, add the crab and gently stir to mix everything.
  • Add the drained spaghetti, then add the parsley, basil and lemon zest. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, some salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the dill and more basil.

A FAREWELL TO BASIL FETTUCCINE



A Farewell to Basil Fettuccine image

I made this while watching 'A Farewell to Arms' on TV and realized the title suited the intent of the pasta, which was to celebrate the last gleanings from my rather prolific basil patch. If you feel the need to serve this with a sauce, consider a butter garlic sauce or a white wine sauce with chicken. Whatever you choose to accompany this with, enjoy it!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup chopped fresh basil
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Using a food processor, process basil leaves until chopped very fine. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and pulse two or three times, or until combined. Add egg, 1 teaspoon oil, and the water until dough forms a ball shape. If dough seems dry, add a bit more water. Wrap dough in a piece of plastic wrap which has been coated in a few drops of olive oil. Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator, and cut into 6 equal size portions. Run pasta though pasta machine, or roll with rolling pin to desired thickness. Use the additional flour to coat pasta while rolling.
  • Allow pasta to dry for one hour prior to cooking.
  • Cook in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. This should take only a 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
