Crab Mushroom Spinach Fettuccine

MMMMM this was super good!

I got this recipe from Food.com and gave me an excuse to buy my first dungeness crab ever!

Ingredients:

1 dungeness crab...you might want to buy 2 of them

2 cup fresh mushrooms (I used portabellas)  2 cup fresh spinach ( I used baby)

1 box fettuccine noodles, cooked

1 cup parmigiana or mixed with romano( what ever you have in the fridge is good)

1 cup heavy cream (If you want to make this lighter use low fat half & half)

2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil  1 garlic, clove mined (I used more)

1 tsp. lemon zest  salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside. *Tip: To keep from sticking keep a little water in the pot till pasta is needed*
2. In large skillet, heat oil over high flame and add garlic. This helps to give the garlic a smokey flavor, The add mushrooms to sweat out the moisture (add salt to help speed this process up).
3. Add cream or half and half and bring to a boil, then simmer with cover over medium heat for 3 min. Add crab meat, spinach and lemon zest and cook until spinach is wilted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Then toss in pasta, after being drained and mix with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with garlic bread.
