Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2 Make the breadcrumbs. In a small non stick pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the
breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring constantly, until golden
brown; about 3 minutes. When the breadcrumbs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl
and set aside. Do not leave them in the pan or they will burn.
3 In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook
until just starting to turn golden; about 1 minute. Add the peppers and the
tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start to break
down; about 5 minutes. Add the water and cook an additional 5 minutes or until
the sauce becomes "saucy."
4 Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions.
5 Drain the pasta, reserving a ½ cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta, lemon
juice and half of the parsley to the pan, and toss until coated with the sauce.
Add the crab and stir into the pasta trying not to break up the lumps. Finish
cooking the pasta in the sauce, adding pasta water as needed to loosen the
sauce.
6 Garnish with lots of parsley and breadcrumbs and serve with lemon wedges.
7 Enjoy!
