Tips
Fresh pasta can be used in place of dried pasta. Skip pre-boiling and add fresh pasta directly to sauteed ingredients when clam juice / seafood stock is added.
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, melt 1 T lite butter. Stir in 1 T flour to make a paste. Set roux aside.
2. Fill large pasta cooking pot 2/3 full of water. While water is coming to a boil, begin sauteeing other ingredients.
#3. Saute mushrooms, Creole spice, garlic in 1/4 cup lite butter. over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add oysters, corn, string beans and (optional) pimento. Saute for 1-1/2 minutes. Add clam juice / seafood stock and partially cooked linguini (see step #4). Bring to a slight simmer.
#4 Add linguini to boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes simply to soften pasta. Pasta will NOT be done cooking and will finish in the same pan as the remaining ingredients.
#5. Fold in roux until sauce thickens. Then reduce heat. Fold in parsley and scallions. Fold in lump crabmeat and heat through until all ingredients are hot and pasta is cooked el dente.
Serve immediately.
