Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Lemon Butter Sauce [3]
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh chanterelle or shiitake mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Add the green onions, garlic, shallots, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until the vegetables start turning translucent, for about 2 minutes. Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain the pasta in a colander.
Add the crabmeat and pasta and shake the skillet or toss gently to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Sautéfor 1 minute.
Carefully stir in the Lemon Butter Sauce, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, just until the sauce is heated through, for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
To serve, get down your best pasta bowls and divide the pasta among each. Top with the sauce (including plenty of chanterelles and crabmeat). Sprinkle the rim of each bowl with 1/2 teaspoon Creole Seasoning.
