Weeknights are always busy with 3 kids and various activities, so I’m always looking for a dinner that is quick but delicious. My kids love pasta so we make it fairly often but if I can sneak some healthy food in there too, it’s a winner in my eyes! That’s why I love this recipe for crab linguini with lemon butter garlic sauce – it’s easy to sneak in the crab for the kids!
I promise you that this is such an easy dish to make and it will be going into your weekly menu rotation!

I made the Crab Linguini with Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce with Crab Classic, the #1 surimi seafood brand nationally, made from wild Alaskan Pollock and King Crab meat. It’s also gluten-free (made in a 100% gluten-free facility!), fat-free and certified by the American Heart Association as heart healthy! Besides that, Crab Classic is also certified by the MSC as a sustainably sourced seafood so you can feel good while feeding your family too.

I love this recipe. I adore this brand of imitation crab, I can’t help but eat a whole bag full before I can make a recipe, so I must have a few extras!!!
I bet this would go awesome with garilc bread. This recipe is perfect too because I don’t have to worry about making crab for the first time ever.
Looks delicious! I am going to try this recipe
Yum! This would be perfect with any seafood.
Delicious! I love recipes with crab meat. This looks like it would be great for lunch.
This would be a great twist on my usually clam linguini! Thanks for the recipe!
This one sure looks terrific and since my kids all love crab salads, etc., I think they would really like this recipe.
Could I use real crab
I used real crab and it was amazing!
Thanks, l loved the recipe. I improvised a bit and substituted dry vermouth for white wine and added some small cooked shrimp and some diced tomatoes.
Is there anything else that can substitute the wine ? I cannot have any alcohol.
Nora,
Yes. If you don’t want to use wine, you can definitely substitute chicken broth for the wine. It will be just as tasty!
