Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound fettuccine
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup dry white wine
Two 14-ounce cans cherry or baby Roma tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for shells
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Torn basil leaves, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallots, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, then bring to a boil and cook until almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the crabmeat and butter, stirring until the butter is emulsified. Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, and sprinkle the plain pasta with the Parmesan before stirring. Using two spoons, toss well to coat.
  • Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, adding additional pasta water as needed, 2 more minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with additional Parmesan and torn basil, if desired.
