Say hello to your midsummer night’s dream:
I love how incredibly fast & fresh this Creamy Corn and Crab Pappardalle is. It can be prepared in less than 30 minutes and is perfect for busy weeknight’s or cozy Sunday night in. It’s loaded with fresh crab meat & corn and is tossed in a super light and creamy white wine butter sauce. If that doesn’t intrigue you, I’m not sure what will.
This Creamy Corn and Crab Pappardalle is seriously the perfect dish to send the summer off with a bang, and would be fab for entertaining. It’s quick and easy and is made in just ONE pan, so it’s absolutely perfect for group dinners. The recipe doubles easily and is delicious served with mixed greens and a crisp white wine (I prefer Matua Sauvignon Blanc).
