Penne semi-Arrabiata in Crab meat

The famous Italian specialty Pasta arrabiata is very popular across the continents due to its spicy taste and choice of aromatic herbs. However, I have added a twist as I do not like the over-powering tomatoes in it all the time so I have mentioned it as semi-Arrabiata.  The dish is quick and delightfully bursts in flavors; the only thing that was time consuming was cleaning the crab. 

 

Penne in crab meat

Ingredients

1.      Pasta/Penne 250 gms

2.      Olive oil 3tbs

3.      Tomatoes 2 large, roughly chopped

4.      Garlic 4 cloves, finely chopped

9.      Zucchini 50gm, roughly chopped

10.   Red chili powder ½ tsp

Method

1.  Boil the pasta in hot water with salt and a teaspoon of oil until cooked, not soggy. It should take around 10mins; drain and set aside to cool.

2.  In a pan add the olive oil, sauté the garlic, onion, crab meat and zucchini in low flame for about 5minutes. Cover the pan.

3. Now, add the tomatoes, salt and chili powder until it is consistent.

4. Add the oregano and pasta and toss gently so that it does not break.

For the garnish you can add fresh herbs like cilantro, parmesan cheese or pepper flakes added a little heat to it.
