Background

Crayfish are very popular in Sweden, they even have crayfish parties in the Summer called kräftskiva. This Swedish crayfish pasta uses just the tails, which you can buy in most supermarkets. It's a simple, zingy, yet filling dish. You can use any dried pasta, even gluten-free versions.

Ingredients

200g pasta
1 Tbsp vegetable oil or 1 knob of butter
1 tsp corn flour
50 ml semi-sweet white wine
100 ml crème fraîche or Greek-style yoghurt
1 pack of crayfish tails (125-150g)
1 lemon (grated zest and juice)
2 Tbsp chopped dill

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion in the oil or butter for about 5 minutes in a frying pan. Add the wine and the cornflour and simmer gently until thickened.
