Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces lump crab meat, picked over
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

- Cook linguine according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
