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.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup of white wine,
2 limes,
crab meat (about half container, 4 oz),
extra virgin olive oil,
angel hair pasta (about half pack),
2 chilis (chopped),
garlic (chopped),
Italian parsley (chopped),
scallion (chopped).

Hot oil hot pan, chopped garlic, chili & scallion in.

“Sauté and season it well, ya?” Yes chef!
White wine and reduce.

Cook the angel hair in salted boiling water. Squeeze half of a lime into the sauce. Crab in.

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.

Allora Cucina Italiana

2nd visit. Had a good impression so we ordered basically the same dishes to see if they hold up.

 The thin ones are the crowd pleaser. Bet their pizza would not be too bad.

Burrata & Prosciutto

The fresh mozzarella is really fresh and soft. Tights well with the salty Prosciutto.

Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Truffle Oil

The ravioli is al dente. The mushroom filling is creamy. The sauce is rich and flavorful.

A must get special from Allora. We love this thing.

Vongole Pasta

I chose fetachini but spagetti would have worked better. Fresh calm but this one is just alright.

Zucchini, Garlic, Tomato, & Shrimp Pasta

Goes really well with Angel Hair pasta instead of the default fetachini. I could really the taste the zucchini in the sauce.

Overall this is a good casual Italian spot that we sure will be going back for more.
