Method

Crab Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, finely chopped red bell pepper, stone ground mustard, panko bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Spaghetti with Pesto Cream

    Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. In a separate saucepan, combine pesto with cream and heat over low until warmed through. Toss cooked spaghetti in the pesto cream sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a bed of pesto cream spaghetti topped with crab cakes. Enjoy!
