1/2 to 3/4 lb. crab meat or imitation crab (which I use)

Start boiling noodles at least 10 minutes prior to starting sauce.

Set crab meat out while cooking butter sauce.

BUTTER SAUCE:

2 tbsp. olive oil
4 to 8 cloves of garlic (crushed then chopped)
2 tsp. basil
3 tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 to 1/2 cup nice fruity white wine (cooking wine will work OK)

Heat large skillet on medium-high. Add in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Brown the 4-8 cloves of crushed and chopped garlic (30 seconds). Add basil (30 seconds). Add butter and soy sauce. Stir and let simmer (45 seconds). Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup white wine.

Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add crab meat and warm until slightly hot.

Strain noodles, place in large bowl and pour crab butter sauce over the top.

Makes enough for 3 to 4 people.
