Linguine Al Granchio Recipe

Cook the Linguine

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Wine and Seasonings

Pour in the white wine and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Combine with Crab and Pasta

Gently fold in the jumbo lump crabmeat into the sauce, being careful not to break up the lumps. Add the cooked linguine and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
