Crab with Homemade Tagliolini Pasta

Time to pull out the pasta maker. This delicate crab meat comes together forming a vibrant aromatic sauce that carries a subtle tone of sweetness from the zucchini and grape tomatoes, allowing a hint of intense red chili to infuse the dish. I chose homemade Tagliolini slightly thicker than spaghetti and thinner than tagliatelle. When cooked its taste is delicate and texture is soft.
