Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth (or clam juice), white wine, and turmeric. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, following package instructions. Drain well and return the pasta to the pot.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften and release their moisture.
  5. Add half of the thinly sliced green onions and the tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to blend with the mushrooms.
  6. Pour in the broth and wine mixture. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Gently fold in the crab meat and tarragon. Stir until the crab is just heated through, being careful not to break up the chunks.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Pour the crab and mushroom sauce over the drained linguine in the pot. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  10. Divide the pasta between two plates. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions and serve immediately.
