Steps:
- 1. Cook the pasta according to package set aside to cool
- 2. Cut the stems off the broccoli, throw them away. Steam the florets - place the florets in a pot with a very small amount of water, place a lid on the pot and cook on low until a bright green, set aside to cool ** I usually make the pasta and broccoli the evening before and place in the refrigerator overnight to assure it is cooled.
- 3. Remove the seeds and chop the peppers and tomatoes, chop the onion, try to make them all the same size I usually cut them really tiny, sometimes I throw them in the food processor, however doing so can make them a bit watery.
- 4. Cut the crab meat in small chunks, or you may flake them.
- 5. Add the mayo, parm cheese and dressing in a bowl whisk well, add salt and pepper to taste. ** we like it with a lot of dressing I usually make extra
- 6. Mix in a large bowl combine the pasta, veggies and crab, pour the dressing mixture over the pasta mixture and mix, garnish with parm cheese and parsley flake.
