Directions:


Melt butter and oil in heavy saucepan over low heat.

Add tomatoes and garlic and simmer slowly until tomatoes begin to soften and break down.

Add cream and the wine and simmer gently for 10 minutes. The sauce should just coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Cook the pasta while the sauce is simmering and drain.

To the sauce add the crab, 1/2 of the total Parmesan, parsley and salt and pepper to taste and simmer about 2-3 minutes, just until the crab is heated through.

Place the pasta into a heated ceramic bowl and pour the sauce atop, slightly tossing it to combine.

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top and serve immediately.

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
