ingredients
1 pound fresh crab or canned crab meat
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup canned diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 dash black pepper
3 cups cooked spaghetti pasta
directions
Pick over the crab meat and remove any shells. Cut the crab into 1/2-inch pieces (or gently flake the crab if a less chunky texture is desired).
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and parsley and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Stir the crab into the pasta sauce and cook until just heated through. Toss with the cooked spaghetti and serve immediately.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Used this with cooked shrimp instead of crab (less expensive). Very good.
