Cookalong with Gordon Ramsay - Crab Pasta with Crab, Chili and Lime

I have always wondered how Gordon Ramsay gets away with being an asshole pushing people’s buttons around on American TV shows. He must either pay these people well or he had to be an amazing cook himself. I intended to find out just that myself by cookalong with one of his youtube recap.

2 limes,

Cook the crab in the sauce for about a minute or two. Add the pasta straight into the pan. (pasta timed for four minutes) Sprinkle with chopped parsley and toss.

Serve with lime juice and drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serves two. Done!

Maybe it’s Gordon Ramsay or it’s the pressure of trying to cookalong with a 40 seconds video clip, i started to yell at the person near me to get the silverware and eat it while it’s hot. I was later pardoned after she tasted how good it was. Now that’s an amazing dish.
