How to Make Crab Linguini

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup dry white wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup half and half and 1/2 cup evaporated milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
  4. Return to medium-low heat. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of softened butter and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the butter-flour mixture into the simmering milk mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and is smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 pound lump crab meat, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  7. Reduce heat to low and cook until the crab is heated through (about 2-3 minutes). Do not overcook.
  8. Meanwhile, cook linguini according to package directions until al dente.
  9. Drain the linguini and toss with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Pour the crab sauce over the pasta and toss gently to coat.
