Crab & Zucchini Rotini
We've been experimenting with lighter, healthier, and less meaty meals lately. Our crab and zucchini rotini pasta was something different. It's just as hearty as a saucy pasta but light enough to avoid that heavy meal feeling and, with the versatility of being a really good meal hot or cold, this one is a winner for weekday dinners or work-time lunch.
To start, we melt butter in a large pan. Saute the onions, add the garlic. Then the crab, zucchini, and tomatoes. We really loved how well this simple dish came together.
Add a can of petite diced tomatoes!
Mix together with the cooked pasta.
The result is a really colorful meal!
We garnished with a few shakes of grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley flakes
(fresh parsley and fresh Parmesan is preferred!)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb Rotini Pasta
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 pkg Crab sticks, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained (or NOT-drained if you prefer the extra sauce)
- Grated Parmesan and Parsley flakes, for garnish
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan. Add the onions, cook until onions are opaque.
- Add garlic, sliced crab, zucchini, and can of tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring lightly.
- Once the crab and vegetable mix is heated through and blended well, add pasta. Stir.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan and Parsley flakes.
- Happy Eating!
