1 cup snow peas, trimmed and blanched
8 oz fettucci, cooked according to package directions and rinsed with cold water
Fresh basil, cut into slivers
Heat large saute pan and add butter. Stir in cream and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer approximately 5 minutes until cream begins
to turn a pale yellow and is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir
in sun-dried tomatoes and cheeses. Stir well until sauce is smooth. Add crab
meat, stirring gently in order not to break up any large lumps, then add snow
peas and fettuccini. Stir until well combined and heated through. Garnish with
slivered basil.
Hints. Make fettuccini before starting this recipe. If you want to save some
time, substitute a pre-made Alfredo sauce for the butter and cream.
