There is nothing that I love more than a satisfying bowl of pasta. It is my go to comfort food and is always sure to lift my spirits when I am having a bad day. I decided to share this recipe for two reasons. One, because it is super easy and extremely fast to make and two, because it is amazingly delicious!! Use this the next time you are having guests over for dinner and I will guarantee a crowd pleaser. Enjoy!!

Salt
1 pound linguini
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
3 shallot, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
2 T unsalted butter
1 lb fresh jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 head radicchio thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup of pasta water
1 T chopped fresh parsley

1. Bring 6 quarts water to a boil and salt. Cook the pasta according to package directions, until just al dente, and drain reserving the pasta water.

2. Meanwhile in a large sauté pan heat the oil on medium high heat until hot. Add the shallots, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Sautee until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the butter and the scallions and turn the heat to medium low.

3. Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss to coat. Add the crab and radicchio to the pasta and toss until radicchio wilts, about a minute. Add the reserved pasta water a little bit at time to create a sauce (you may not need to use all of the water). Toss in the parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
