Ingredients

1 pound Jonah crabmeat Shop

1 pound fettuccine
3 strips bacon, minced
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or flat-leaf parsley

Serves: 4, Main Course

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente

following the instructions on the package. While the pasta cooks, sauté the bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat until it begins to crisp. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander and cook for another minute. Add the cream and reduce the heat to a simmer. Reduce the cream by half, then add the crab meat.

When draining pasta, reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water. Add the drained pasta, reserved cooking water, and chopped herbs and simmer until the sauce is thick and coats the pasta.
