Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghettini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghettini neri according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).

  3. 3

    Add Artichokes and Wine

    Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the chardonnay and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

  4. 4

    Combine Crab and Pasta

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat, then add the drained spaghettini to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and shaved bottarga di muggine on top.
