From The Artichoke Cookbook by Patricia Rains (Celestial Arts), About.com Guest

Marinated artichoke hearts are combined with fresh crab, spaghetti sauce, and herbs for a fast and easy pasta sauce topped with Parmesan cheese. You can save time by using canned crabmeat and store-bought spaghetti sauce if you wish. Quick and easy.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 (6-ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 to 1/2 pound fresh crabmeat (or 1 can crabmeat)
  • 16 ounces homemade meatless spaghetti sauce (or 1 bottle meatless spaghetti sauce)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves, crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon rosemary leaves, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil leaves, crushed
  • Cooked spaghetti or linguine
  • Parmesan or Romano cheese or a mixture of both

Preparation:

In a saucepan heat marinated artichoke hearts and crabmeat (or 1 can king crab meat). In another pan heat spaghetti sauce. In third pan melt butter, garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary leaves. Place cooked spaghetti or linguine on a large platter and arrange crab and artichokes alternately across top. Pour spaghetti sauce over half the dish and garlic butter over other half. Sprinkle Parmesan/Romano cheese over top.

Yield: 4 servings

"Don't use canned crab,infact boring and no taste surfaces. Too buttery and liquid."
