I love pasta recipes and this dish is not a traditional Italian pasta dish but it sure is a delicious one. This is spicy crab pasta! In many ways you could called it Thai Pasta as I am using many of the flavors of Southeast Asia in many of my pasta recipes. The flavors of garlic and basil along with the spicy nature of both red and green chilies with tomatoes and olive oil and let’s not forget the crab claw meat. If you love pasta recipes as much as I do then you should try this recipe out I promise you will love it! You can find the recipe below.

what are those weird noises in the backround?
Looks a really good pasta recipe that Rich 🙂
This "Thai Pasta" looks spicy, you can never go wrong with a little spice! What an eclectic recipe with a nice choice of flavors, and ingredients. For 2 are you kidding me, I would smash the whole plate! Nice.
That looks so delicious.
If I didn't like crab would it work with prawns or tuna?
Or even void of seafood?
Man O Man This is my kind of dish!! Fresh gulf seafood and then some Italian and Thai flair yummy
Oh wowie, wow….this looked absolutely amazing!!
<3 Rocky
I'm not on the asian or italian side… i have enjoyed them both. I'm on the 'cooking with fire' side! I'm gonna take up a collection and buy you a grill!
This looks fantastic!!
Richard, I love that this wasn't too saucy and enjoyed that you stir fried the dish Asian style at the end. Really creative!
Win win! This one is a keeper! Thanks Richard, liked and shared on FB
Hope you've been well, Rich! looks great!!
I love crab anything! crab mac and cheese, crab wontons, crab quesadillas, now spicy crab pasta! yumm thanks for sharing!
Howdy Richard, it has been a rough winter, but I've been getting my health back on track and doing pretty good now…..so you'll be seeing more of me again 🙂
I'm good thanks for asking, kind of busy with work and stuff but everything is good 🙂 Hope you're having a good week as well!
Bird love pasta too! Looks kick ass man, you are the pasta mastah! Cheers my brother!
Looks great Rich , I just might have to try that one , bet that would be good with lobstah meat too…..!!!
That looks delicious Richard. I haven't had Crab in a while and even when we get it, I usually end up making crab cakes. Will have to try it with Linguni!
What I wouldn't give to be eating a plate of that right now.
I love crabs. And I can only imagine how nicely the sweetness of the crabs plays against those spicy chilies. YUM!
Did you know that noodles originated in China? You might have a fully Asian dish there. Nevermind, that looks absolutely delish!
Good job!
Yes, I have to agree. The Italians DID make 'em famous.
Again, good job!
looks great Richard now I want some
The sauce looks great, but I know Italians that would beat you for treating pasta like that, Richard. Cook pasta before starting sauce? Let it go all clumpy and then fry it? I love the flavours you create, but crikey!
Very nice recipe! I'll try it. If you really want to have fun. Enable the subtitles on this video. This is hilarious!
Wicked recipe. Ymmo!
Thanks for the recipe. I am trying it now (and it looks awesomely good)
🙂
Can I more meat? or am I going to have to put more sauce?
I love pasta recipes and this dish is not a traditional Italian pasta dish but it sure is a delicious one. This is spicy crab pasta! Pasta Piccante Granchio In many ways you could called it Thai Pasta as I am using many of the flavors of Southeast Asia in many of my pasta recipes.

I could eat the sauce by itself, but the final product looks a little dry. I will try myself but with more tomato sauce and a little water.
the sauce alone is enough to make me full. man i'm drooling
Richard, Yes, glad I watched this video. Thanks. Great one. Something I would definitely like. 🙂
turn subtitles on at 4:56
