I have always had a love affair with pasta so I was excited to add this to my FODMAP foods list of recipes. My favorite kind of pasta as a kiddo was plain with butter and salt only. I swear my Dad makes it the best still to this day. It’s probably because I don’t see how much butter and salt he adds to it and I’m totally okay with that. Even now, if I’m having an off day I will make this for myself as I know it won’t hurt my stomach.
This dish is a grown-up take on buttered pasta with added richness from the crab and still only uses a few ingredients. But let’s be serious, butter and olive oil make everything better. It’s rich and decadent tasting but still leaves you feeling light at the end of the meal.
