Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 lb of penne
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 large fennel bulb or 2 small ones
  • 1 jar of Prego® Farmers' Market Roasted Garlic (1 lb 7.5 oz)
  • 10 oz of lump crab meat
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated Italian cheese (optional)
  • Red chili flakes (optional)

Instruction

  • Cook the pasta according to direction on the package. Don't overcook the pasta. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest
  • Preheat a large skillet with cooking oil. Trim the upper part of the fennel and so you are left with the bulb. Finely chopped them. Reserve the fronds for garnishing later. Add in the chopped fennel into the oil and saute until they are soft, about 10 minutes. Add in the roasted garlic sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Add in the cooked penne and crab meat. Stir to mix everything. Add in some reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce a little bit if it's too thick. Season with salt and pepper to your taste
  • Garnish with some fennel fronds, grated cheese and red chili flakes if you like. Serve immediately
