Crab & peas with casarecce from Simple: Effortless Food, Big Flavours (page 98) by Diana Henry

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I adjusted the proportions: 8 oz white crab (refrigerated canned), 8 oz casarecce, 8 oz sugar snap peas. Couldn't find pea shoots, so used a handful of arugula. Added the optional creme fraiche. Quite delicious and 2 hungry people ate it all. I could see using the original proportions for a lighter dish, but can't imagine how it feeds 4, except as a starter (and this would be a nice one).

    I used gemelli, which held the sauce beautifully, and did the variation with cream. Delicious - really fresh tasting.

    I used tinned crab and this recipe still came out wonderfully !
