ingredients

  • 4 cups durum wheat or semolina flour
  • 1 pint water
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon crab fat
  • 1 ounce calamari
  • 1 ounce King crab
  • 1 ounce shrimp
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, to garnish parsley

Method

  • Step 1

    Drip water off your fingertips into a bed of durum or semolina flour. Let sit for 10 minutes, then sift through something perforated, such as a colander. The noodles are the chunks that remain and don't get sifted through.

  • Step 2

    Toast Panko bread crumbs in 1 cup olive oil with one smashed clove of garlic. Stir constantly until golden brown. Once color is achieved, cool on paper towels to soak up residual oil. 

  • Step 3

    Drop the pasta in salted boiling water, and cook for about 5 minutes. While pasta is cooking, heat a pan on medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic. Once garlic starts to brown, add chili flakes and deglaze with a cup of pasta water. Next, add crab fat and butter. Once pasta is done cooking, add it to the pan and start to reduce. After about 3 minutes, add all of your seafood into the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Finish the pasta with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Place your pasta in a bowl and finish with toasted bread crumbs.
