This elegant crab and herb fettuccine is a celebration of fresh, coastal flavours, combining succulent jumbo lump crabmeat with a fragrant blend of tarragon, chives, and flat-leaf parsley. The base of the dish is a velvety beurré blanc-style sauce, balanced with the brightness of lemon and the subtle sharp notes of shallots. It is a sophisticated yet surprisingly simple meal that relies on the quality of its components to deliver a truly refined dining experience.
As a high-protein option, this seafood pasta is perfect for an indulgent weekend lunch or a quick midweek supper when you want something that feels special without hours of preparation. The rich, buttery sauce coats each strand of egg pasta beautifully, while the fresh herbs ensure the dish remains light and aromatic. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled dry white wine for the perfect pairing.

Ingredients for Crab and Herb Fettucine
60ml dry white wine
60ml tarragon or white-wine vinegar
80ml finely chopped shallot
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons ) cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
450g jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
45ml chopped fresh tarragon
45ml chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons salt
230g dried egg fettuccine
How to make Crab and Herb Fettucine
Boil wine, vinegar, and shallot in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon , about 3 minutes. Add a few tablespoons butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly and adding each new piece before previous one has completely melted, lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture. Reduce heat to low, then add crabmeat and cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through, about 2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and stir in herbs, zest, lemon juice, and salt.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 45ml of pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta.
Toss pasta with crab sauce and reserved cooking water in a serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
