Fed up with the usual tomato sauce for pasta? Well, all it takes is one ingredient to elevate your spaghetti to culinary greatness: blue crab.And while it's never easy to watch crustaceans go from alive to dead, it is the best way to guarantee freshness when you're preparing seafood. So, once your tomato sauce is ready to go, you're going to bring it to a boil and toss in those blue crabs for their final tomato and basil bath.
Their salty insides will infuse your run-of-the-mill tomato and basil sauce with an ocean brininess that you will not soon forget.Also, be sure to get a good piece of bread to scarpetta the fuck out of this sauce.RECIPE: Blue Crab Pasta
