This bright blue-green glistening crab was turned into a fabulously flavoursome dish called “Crab Pasta”. It’s such ordinary name for what is actually once of my family’s favourite meals. Once cooked, the glossy shell takes on a warm, orange hue and that’s when you know the crab meat is ready to be prised out and eaten. 


Crab pasta is loaded with aromatic garlic, lemon, fresh herbs and that sweet crab meat, tossed through strands of silky spaghetti or linguine. It is THE dish that my children scan a restaurant menu when we eat out together. 

After much pleading from the tribe, I decided to be brave and made crab pasta from scratch… and uploaded the process onto YouTube. Yes, my first ever cooking demonstration can now be viewed at:

Just post it into your browser, sit back and watch and be inspired to have a “crack” at making this delicious dish. It’s worth the effort!
