Cooking Tips

• Be careful not to overcook the crab meat, as it can become tough and rubbery.
• Feel free to add some red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice for a touch of heat and acidity.

Storage and Serving

• Astoria Crab Pasta is best served immediately while it's still hot and the sauce is creamy.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the pasta gently in a skillet with a splash of cream or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
