Crab Pasta at the Beach

You can substitute fresh or tinned fish such as crab, salmon or tuna. This is great with calamari.

Ingredients for two seniors. Increase quantities if you have a higher calorie requirement. 

• 80g Wholemeal Pasta
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and one teaspoon of butter.
• 1 crushed clove of garlic
• 1 thinly sliced zucchini
• the cups or chopped tomatoes.

• 185 grams of crab meat.
• The juice and finally grated zest of one lemon.
• 30g low-fat or regular, grated or crumbed cheese. I used Feta for this meal
• Two sprigs of fresh chopped parsley. 

1. Lower each crab into the boiling water with its legs facing down. Cook for approximately 15 minutes.
2. Remove cooked crabs, plunge into chilled water to cool and use the same large (to save excess dishes to wash)  saucepan filled Smith boiling water to spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling water to kook the whole grain spaghetti, according to the directions on packet. Drain once cooked.
3. While spaghetti cooks, remove the usable (body and large claws) crab meat from the shells-rice and plate. 
4. Meanwhile, heat the better and oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic. Add zucchini and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until just tender. Stir in tomatoes, lemon and crabmeat and bring to heat-but don't over cook. 
5. Add the vegetable, cab mix to the saucepan containing the wholemeal spaghetti and toss to combine.
6. Plate up, and sprinkle with cheese of your choice and parsley. Season with freshly ground black pepper, a side salad of greens and any remaining crab legs. 
   
   This looks and tastes delicious. 

In too much of a rush to get back to fish on the evening tide to cook spaghetti and vegetables? 
No worries.
Put the chilled cooked crab, fresh buttered bread and salad in a picnic basket, and head back to the beach. 

I am back from a very long nature work, very tired, will sleep so well tonight.

Great exercise, today I bought myself a Sony Walkman DVD payer, with a jog-proof action so I could listen to talking books while I exercise. Because of this I was able to increase my walking exercise to an extra three hours for the day.

I took our dog Indigo with me, she also got more exercise than she usually gets for the day and will sleep well too. 

We called to check on Reg’s fishing just as he was catching me a blue spinner crab for my dinner.
