Ingredients
Method
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, in large skillet or shallow saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook red pepper, shallot and garlic, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes.
Add lemon rind and juice, dill, crabmeat, salt and pepper; cook until crabmeat is hot, about 3 minutes.
Add crabmeat mixture to drained pasta; toss to coat. If desired, add enough of the reserved cooking water to moisten.
