recipe Dinner Recipe: Carbonara with Crab
Servings: 4
Food Network ~ Step by Step

Big lumps of crab are the secret to this twist on pasta carbonara. Crab, celery, lemon and sherry create a bright flavor that mixes with rich, creamy yolks, fatty pancetta and sharp cheese.
Recipe by: Rachael Ray

    Ingredients:
  • 1 pound lump Dungeness or King crab leg meat
  • 1/3 pound meaty pancetta or guanciale
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 small rib of celery with leafy tops
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • A few sprigs of thyme
  • 6 large eggs
  • About 3/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano, loosely packed
  • About 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, loosely packed
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • EVOO
  • 1/2 cup sherry or white wine
  • 1 small lemon
  • 2 scallions
  • A small handful of celery tops
  • Togarashi or Old Bay, for sprinkling
  • Negroni, for serving, recipe follows

  • Negroni:
  • 1 orange wedge
  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces Campari
  • 3/4 ounces red vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Ice
  • Club soda, for topping, if desired
  • 1 lemon twist

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta, 4 to 6 quarts.
  • Place crab meat in bowl and run your fingers through it to check for connective tissue, sharp pieces and shell. Pull into long thin strands and small bite-size pieces.
  • Chop the pancetta or guanciale into 1/8 to 1/4-inch dice.
  • Peel and chop the shallot, finely chop the celery and pile with it. Peel the garlic cloves and chop or have a grater at hand. Stem the thyme and chop.
  • Line a small bowl with a baggie if you wish to save the egg whites. Crack and separate the eggs, with yolks in medium glass mixing bowl. Whisk up eggs and whisk in cheeses, salt and pepper.
  • Salt water for pasta and drop the pasta.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat with EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add pancetta or guanciale and render 2 to 3 minutes. Add shallots, celery, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir a minute or 2, then add sherry or white wine and crab. Toss to warm through and let sherry or wine absorb. Add juice of 1 lemon.
  • Add 1 cup starchy boiling water to eggs to temper them. Drain pasta and add to crab. Toss with eggs and cheeses off heat for 1 full minute. Adjust salt and pepper, serve.

  • Negroni:
  • Yield: 1 serving
  • Muddle orange at bottom of a rocks glass. Add remaining ingredients. Fill glass with ice and stir gently. Top with club soda if desired. Garnish with lemon twist.

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 10 flour tortillas (8 inches)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, combine ham and onions; place about 1/4 cup down the center of each tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
  • In another large bowl, combine the flour, cream, eggs and, if desired, salt until smooth. Pour over tortillas. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 3 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
