While pasta is cooking melt the butter and add the garlic, saute for about one minute, without letting it turn brown. Pour in the wine and squeezed the lemon juice in. Turn up the heat and let it reduce for a couple minutes to about 1/3-1/2 cup.


 

Stir in the crab and take it off the heat. Drain the pasta retaining about 1/2 cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the crab mixture and toss to combine. Add the Parmesan. Stir over low heat while the Parmesan melts into the sauce. Add the cream, salt and white pepper. If too thick add a little pasta water.
