Ingredients:

Serving

100 oz crushed tomatoes (we only use san marzano valley tomatoes!)
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste ( we use roasted garlic flavor)
10 -15 garlic cloves (yes! really! probably more!)
1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes (again , we probably use a lot more!)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp flat-leaf italian parsley, minced (i usually toss in a handful)
4 tbsp fresh basil, minced
salt
pepper
8 blue crabs (we use only maryland blue crab)
1 lb spaghetti

Directions:

Using a large stockpot, cover the bottom of the pot with the EVOO.
Once heated, saute the garlic, crushed red pepper, parsley and basil.
Add in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add in the crab and simmer with the lid partially covered for several hours.
Remove from heat and cool. Put back in refrigerator and allow to sit overnight.
1 hour before serving, take out and simmer again on the stove.
Remove crabs to allow to cool. Serve sauce over spaghetti.
Once the pasta course is complete, serve the whole crabs and pick out the meat. UNBELIEVABLE!
