INGREDIENTS
·
400g
linguine
·
4
tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
·
1
red chilli, deseeded and chopped
·
2
garlic cloves, finely chopped
· 1
whole cooked crab, picked, or about 100g/4oz brown crabmeat and 200g/7oz fresh
white crabmeat
·
small
splash, about 5 tbsp, white wine
·
small
squeeze of lemon (optional)
·
large
handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, very finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Bring
a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the linguine. Give it a good
stir and boil for 1 min less than the pack says. Stir well occasionally so it
doesn’t stick.
2. While
the pasta cooks, gently heat 3 tbsp of olive oil with the chilli and garlic in
a pan large enough to hold all the pasta comfortably. Cook the chilli and
garlic very gently until they start to sizzle, then turn up the heat and add
the white wine. Simmer everything until the wine and olive oil come together.
Then take off the heat and add the brown crabmeat, using a wooden spatula or
spoon to mash it into the olive oil to make a thick sauce.
3.
When
the pasta has had its cooking time, taste a strand – it should have a very
slight bite. When it’s ready, turn off the heat. Place the sauce on a very low
heat and use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift the pasta from the water into the
sauce.
4. Off
the heat, add the white crabmeat and parsley to the pasta with a sprinkling of
sea salt. Stir everything together really well, adding a drop of pasta water if
it’s starting to get claggy. Taste for seasoning and, if it needs a slight
lift, add a small squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately twirled into pasta bowls
and drizzled with the remaining oil.
