Crab Spaghetti

Whenever I’m on holiday (usually near the sea) I tend to opt for all the seafood available as I don’t think you can quite beat the fresh taste of clams, mussels, crab, prawns – you name it – I’ll eat it (apart from squid and oysters… not that I’m fussy). However, in the depths of winter, I am really craving that delicious seafood taste, so I decided to experiment with an Italian inspired pasta dish. I initially wanted to make it with clams, however it turns out these aren’t that commonplace in British supermarkets. I was convinced you could buy them in tins, but it wasn’t to be, so I instead picked up some shredded crab to try!

This low FODMAP pasta dish is a quick and easy meal for a work night, with the added pleasure a white wine based sauce (and enough leftover for glass with dinner)… This recipe is gluten free, nut free, onion free, dairy free and garlic free (minus the garlic infused oil for added flavour), so a winner for most food intolerances, and most importantly, it tastes delicious.

Ingredients
Two servings of gluten free spaghetti (I usually guess-timate this!)… the Sainsbury’s version is my favourite currently
2 tbsp garlic infused oil (I recommend Waitrose as this is definitely low FODMAP, Sainsbury’s or Aldi alternatives actually contain garlic!)
250g cherry tomatoes chopped in half
1 red chilli chopped finely, seeds removed
100ml white wine
1 tin shredded crab meat
1 lemon (juice)
15g parsely, chopped finely

Method
Begin by preparing all of your ingredients, and boiling water ready to cook your spaghetti. Add your spaghetti to a saucepan and give it a little stir to separate the strands. While the spaghetti cooks (it should take just under 10 minutes), begin frying chilli in garlic oil for about 2 minutes. Add the parsley, white wine and lemon juice and simmer for another minute or so. Next, add your cherry tomatoes and shredded crab, and cook for about 4 minutes. The last step is to drain your spaghetti and add this to the frying pan to mix with the remaining ingredients and sauce.

 Serve with a glass of the leftover white wine, and enjoy!

This weekend I went to the @bbcearthexperience and This weekend I went to the @bbcearthexperience and afterwards came across @theprincelondon which has an @utterwaffle - a gluten free waffle restaurant! The standard menu items contained onion and garlic but they were super helpful and made me a mozzarella and rosemary waffle topped with grilled chicken, salad and a sweet honey drizzle. It was so good, I’m always so grateful when staff make me something off menu. Have you been to Utter Wattle before? Let me know what you had 🧇

I’ve been on holiday in France for just over a w I’ve been on holiday in France for just over a week now and it’s been so easy to eat safely. We’ve been buying lots of fresh fish and seafood from the supermarket to enjoy on our terrace. Last night I made a roasted vegetable rice (roasted peppers, aubergine, courgette and tomato, mixed herbs and garlic-infused oil), topped it with sea bream (dorada) and a homemade olive tapenade (black olives, capers, lemon juice, anchovies, parsley and garlic-infused oil). It was so good, tonight we are having fresh tuna steak on the barbecue… watch this space! 🐟 🇫🇷

I’m on holiday in France at the moment and today I’m on holiday in France at the moment and today we visited a Michelin star restaurant in Cahors, and I just had to share it! Swipe along to see all four courses. They made all of my plates garlic and onion free and I took a lactase enzyme to help me digest the lactose. Most of the courses contained little or no gluten so I didn’t worry about it in a small amount as onion/garlic affects me far more. I chose from the gourmand menu; with an amuse-bouche of octopus and a root vegetable mash, an entree of zucchini, goats cheese and black olives, a main of monkfish with potatoes, vegetables and a basil oil and a dessert of fresh local strawberries, rice pudding, white chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Every single dish was delicious, I just wish I could go back and try everything else! Have you ever eaten at a Michelin star restaurant? Share your experiences below… ⭐️
I’m really excited to share a new low FODMAP mea I’m really excited to share a new low FODMAP meal that I’ve been working on in collaboration with @Lactojoy. An Italian classic of Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni, made with gluten free pasta and topped with a rich and creamy béchamel sauce. The combination of the tomato and béchamel sauce is delicious, you really need to give this one a try,  To enjoy this dish, make sure you take a Lactojoy tablet before eating. Lactojoy contains lactase, an enzyme which specifically targets and breaks down lactose (a milk sugar) into short-chain sugars (glucose and galactose), which are easier to absorb and digest. Lactojoy is gluten free, dairy free, vegan, histamine free and fructose free. It only contains the necessary ingredients, and is free from artificial sweeteners and colouring. I take Lactojoy regularly so I don’t have to worry about lactose, and I can focus on avoiding other FODMAPs instead. It makes it so much easier to eat out too.

Let me know if you’d like the recipe for the Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni, and I’ll upload it onto my blog. it’s become a regular for us!
