SEASHELL CRAB SALAD

Serves 4

This recipe lends itself to substitutions. Try chicken or shrimp instead of the crab. You can substitute pureed sun-dried tomatoes for the adobo sauce.

3 cups medium shell pasta
1 tsp. salt
1 cup crab meat
2 slices bacon
1 small tomato
1 green onion
1 small stalk celery
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. adobo sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Place pasta and salt in Fasta Pasta.
Add water to level 4.
Cook 16 - 17 minutes.

Meanwhile:
Heat a skillet to medium. Add bacon; cook until crisp.
While the bacon cooks, dice the tomato, onion, and celery. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and adobe sauce.
Crumble the bacon and set aside.

Back to the Pasta:
Remove the pasta from the microwave; rinse and drain.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and chill before serving.
