Flinders Island Cray Pasta

Flinders Island Cray Pasta.

On Island Time’s meals have been specially curated by our team for you to enjoy in your bespoke accommodation or at home. These meals showcase island ingredients, are generous in size and our easy step by step instructional cards make preparation easy. We recommend serving these meals in a large dish or pan that can be placed on a table to share. We suggest ordering 2-3 types of meals for one dinner so you can experience the variety of island inspired flavours.

What you get 

Craytail, rummo pasta, brown butter, cray oil paste, leaves, wharf dressing, parsley, lemon.

Instructions 

This dish takes as long as it takes to cook a pot of pasta, using our curated ingredients from the Flinders Wharf Larder, nothing could be easier and more delicious after a day of getting wild with nature or lazing around on island time. 

Place a large pot of well salted water on to the boil and cook pasta to packet instructions. Drain, keeping a cup of pasta water.

Soak mixed salad greens in cold water until ready to serve.

In the meantime, place a large fry pan onto medium high heat, then add in olive oil and throw in the cray tail medallions, greens, butter,  toss around until the butter melts and the greens wilt, add the cray oil paste, chopped parsley and toss the drained hot pasta through, adding a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.

Taste for salt and add the juice of 1 lemon, season with freshly ground pepper and have some lemon wedges to serve. 

Drain salad and place on a clean tea towel to dry. Place in a bowl and dress with wharf dressing at the table.
