Angel Hair Pasta with Crab, Chile, and Lemon

At first glance these eye-catching chile peppers look like red jalapeno. However, they have a different flavor and are less meaty than Jalapeno. Red Fresnos are great roasted and added to salsas. Try grilling them alongside your steaks or in kabobs.

When roasting these they should char, blister, and become soft. Try substituting these in your favorite chile recipes.

Ingredients:

1.7 oz/50 ml olive oil
1 oz/30 grams butter
2 large red chiles (leave the seeds and pith on for a spicier sauce)
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
9 oz/250 grams fresh crab meat
7 oz/200 grams fresh angel hair pasta
Zest of one lemon
salt to taste

Instructions:

Serves 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta, if using fresh, around 1 minute, if dry, follow package instructions.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a sauce pan. Add the chiles and garlic and saute for a few minutes over a low heat until fragrant, around 3 to 4 minutes. Add the crab meat and lemon zest. Season to taste and toss in the pasta. If the pasta seems a bit dry, add some of the pasta water to the sauce (around1.7-3.4 oz/ 50 to 100 ml)
