The Completed Meal with Cheddar Biscuits (Caitlin is posting the cheddar biscuit recipe soon - Delicious!)
Uncle Duane was the first to recommend a healthy choice dish for February, but since he is living in a hotel and unable to locate the recipe, I looked it up for him and it is posted below.
Pasta with Crabmeat Fra Diavolo
Ingredients
- 3 cups canned Italian tomatoes (with liquid), chopped
- 4 teaspoons olive or canola oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (to taste)
- 4 tablespoons dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- dash pepper
- 4-6 ounces fresh crabmeat
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 box cooked angel hair pasta, thin spaghetti or linguine
Preparation
Heat oil in a 2-3 qt sauce pan over med heat; saute onion, garlic and red pepper 2-3 mins. Add sherry and simmer 1 min. Stir in tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20-25 minutes. Add crabmeat and half-and-half, stir. Heat 3-4 more minutes. Serve over pasta.
I'm pretty excited to try this one!
OK...That looks DELICIOUS!!! Can't wait to get to a kitchen so I can make it again. I do have to question, however, if Caitlin's cheddar biscuits can be considered lo-cal? LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah ... about the "lo-cal cheddar biscuits" ... not so much - they are 150 calories each. So if you only have one they aren't terrible (actually 20 cals less then a yogurt for breakfast). Moderation I guess is key on that one (and a love of cardio workouts).
ReplyDeleteMade this for dinner tonight. Aaron and I both loved it!
