Instructions

  1. Heat large skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil and sliced bell peppers.
  2. Cook for about 3 minutes then add zucchini noodles. Cook for another 2 minutes or until some moisture is released from the zucchini, but don’t cook the zucchini noodles too much or they’ll be mushy.
  3. Place the zucchini noodles and bell peppers in a colander to drain excess water and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Add garlic and cook until translucent. Add tomato sauce and crab. Simmer until sauce and crab are heated through.
  5. Add zucchini noodles back into the pan. Gently fold with the sauce and crab until everything is combined.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, add Parmesan, basil leaves and optional chili flakes. Serve warm.
