CRAB PASTA WITH SNAP PEAS AND MINT
Sweet crab meat and even sweeter sugar snap peas are a lovely match in this green-flecked springtime pasta. Don't overlook the final garnish of olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and flaky sea salt - it really brings out the saline flavor of the crab. Try replacing the mint with basil or chives, or even with tender pea shoots, which will increase the pea quotient in a delightful way.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and boil until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup pasta water, then stir in snap peas, scallions, chile flakes and a large pinch of salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until peas are tender. Stir in lemon zest and mix well.
- Add drained pasta to the pan along with crab, 1/3 cup mint, the lemon juice and black pepper. Toss, adding more pasta water if the mixture looks dry, until warmed through. Remove from heat and serve topped with remaining mint, a drizzle of oil, more lemon if you'd like, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Add 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, peas, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook 1 minute. Add crab and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add pasta, lemon juice, cheese, chile, and remaining tablespoon each of oil and butter and stir to combine well, adding more cooking water to moisten if necessary. Remove from heat and stir in all but 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve pasta sprinkled with remaining parsley.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and generously add salt. Stir in pasta; cook according to package instructions until it is al dente. Transfer to a colander, and let drain.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook until they are translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add peas, and season with salt and pepper; cook until peas are tender and bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Add crab, and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until it is heated through, about 1 minute more. Add the pasta, and stir to combine.
- Stir in cream and basil, and cook until mixture is just heated through. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Divide among serving plates, and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
