Method

  • step 1

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, feed in the spaghetti and cook for the time it says on the pack, stirring a couple of times to stop it sticking.

  • step 2

    Peel and finely chop the garlic; halve, seed and finely chop the chilli. Roughly chop the parsley. Open the can of crab meat and tip the contents into a sieve. Drain well.

  • step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and chilli and fry for 1 minute. Tip the crab meat into the pan with the wine, season with salt and pepper and heat through for a minute or so, stirring.

  • step 4

    Drain the pasta, return it to the pan and tip in the crab mixture, the last tablespoon of oil and the parsley. Toss everything together and serve.

I love this recipe, it's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I used fresh lemon and also added some double cream as I don't like pasta when it is too dry. It turned out to be delicious.

This was yummy. Did the lemon and olive oil trick and also added the zest of half a lemon to the crab mixture. I used fresh crab too and added halved cherry tomatoes to the crab mixture. Hubby adored it! A keeper for us.

more chillis,more parsley and, more crab. you are then on to a winner! empty plates when we served it, could have eaten more! a small portion would even make a nice starter. my brother in law is italian and self confessed food snob. i would have no qualms about serving him this!
