ITALIAN BLUE CRAB SAUCE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Italian Blue Crab Sauce Recipe - Food.com image

This is our Xmas Eve dinner every year. Also, my all time favorite pasta dish! This tradition started because Catholics did not eat meat on Christmas Eve and they sought out seafood based pasta dishes to serve instead. All ingredients are approximations since we never really measure anything. Alter to suit your family's tastes! THIS RECIPE SHOULD BE MADE ONE DAY AHEAD TO ALLOW THE CRAB FLAVORING TO PERMEATE THE MARINARA!

Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 3 hours

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

100 ounces crushed tomatoes (We only use San Marzano Valley tomatoes!)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste (we use roasted garlic flavor)
10 -15 garlic cloves (yes! really! probably more!)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (again, we probably use a lot more!)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley, minced (I usually toss in a handful)
4 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
salt
pepper
8 blue crabs (we use only Maryland Blue Crab)
1 lb spaghetti

Steps:

  • Using a large stockpot, cover the bottom of the pot with the EVOO.
  • Once heated, saute the garlic, crushed red pepper, parsley and basil.
  • Add in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add in the crab and simmer with the lid partially covered for several hours.
  • Remove from heat and cool. Put back in refrigerator and allow to sit overnight.
  • 1 hour before serving, take out and simmer again on the stove.
  • Remove crabs to allow to cool. Serve sauce over spaghetti.
  • Once the pasta course is complete, serve the whole crabs and pick out the meat. UNBELIEVABLE!

SPAGHETTI WITH CRABS RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Spaghetti With Crabs Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This delightful recipe is adapted from one in Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli’s “The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion and Cooking Manual,” written with Peter Meehan. It’s for a fantastic dish of spaghetti and crabs that was taught to them by Tony Durazzo, a Carroll Gardens raconteur and friend of the Spuntino, in which crabs are simmered in tomato sauce and then served to the side of a platter of spaghetti covered in that same sauce, now infused with the flavor of the crustaceans. You really ought to cook it right now. Then make a mess, eating it.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Total Time 1 hours

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
3 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and minced
1 28-ounce can peeled tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
4 large blue crabs
Kosher salt
1 pound dry spaghetti
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until it is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, crushing them by hand as you do so, as well as the parsley and red-pepper flakes. Stir and allow to come to a simmer.
  • Turn the heat up to high and add the crabs. When the sauce starts to boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 30 minutes or so. Remove the crabs to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is firm — really al dente. Drain.
  • Place the pasta in a large serving bowl or platter and drizzle with olive oil. Pour the crab sauce over the pasta, scatter the basil leaves over the top and season aggressively with black pepper. Serve with crabs on the side and lots of bread.

  • 1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a moderately hot temperature, about 400°F; if using coals, wait until they turn white-hot. 2. If desired, melt the butter in a large stockpot set over the grill or over moderate heat on a stove. Add the onion, crushed garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper, sautéing until softened, 4-5 minutes. 3. Add the Old Bay seasoning and thyme leaves; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the water and bring to a boil over high heat. 4. Once boiling, reduce to a steady simmer and stir in the sausage and potatoes; return to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender to the tip of a knife, 10-15 minutes. 5. Add the corn to the water and return to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes and then remove from the stockpot and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside until needed. 6. Return the seafood boil to a simmer and stir in the crabs and lobster. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. 7. In the meantime, brush the corn with oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning a few times, until lightly charred all over, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the grill. 8. When the crab and lobster are ready, stir in the shrimp and clams. Cover and cook until the shrimp are opaque and the clams have opened, 4-5 minutes. 9. Add the parsley, lemon juice, and plenty of salt and pepper to taste to the seafood boil. Serve straight from the pot with grilled corn on the side and seafood boil sauce on the side. (See Tips for a seafood boil sauce.)
