Crab Linguine with Chilli & Garlic
Keep it simple with good-quality ingredients to create this light and refreshing Crab Linguine with a kick from Waitrose.
Ingredients – Serves 4
4 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely shopped
1 fresh red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 lemon, juiced
25g fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Green salad to serve
Method
Step 1
Cook the linguine according to the pack instructions, then drain and cover, reserving a little of the cooking water.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the garlic and chilli, and fry gently for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the crab meat, stir well to combine and heat through.
Step 4
Once the crab is hot, fold through the lemon juice.
Step 5
Add the cooked, drained linguine to the crab together with enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen (about 2–3 tbsp). Add the parsley and toss through until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 6
Divide between shallow bowls, drizzle with a little olive oil and serve immediately with green salad.
Tip
For a saucier pasta, add some finely chopped fresh tomatoes at the end of step 2 and cook for 2 minutes before adding the crab.
