Serves 2 (or 1 if you are hungry)
Ingredients
- 150g Fresh white Crab Meat
- 200g dried or fresh spaghetti
- Bunch of cherry tomatoes
- 1 lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 2 tbsp evtra virgin olive oil
- 1 small red chilli, seeds removed and finely sliced
- Seasoning
Method
- Firstly put a large pan of salted water on to boil and cook your pasta as per the cooking instructions.
- Pour the oil into a large frying pan or saute pan, and put onto a medium heat, when up to temperature put in the tomatoes whole.
- Cook the tomatoes for 7-10 minutes, making sure to keep them moving. We want them nicely blistered, but without any colour.
- Now turn the heat down to low and add the garlic and chilli to the pan, and keep stirring for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Once your pasta is cooked, drain and add to the pan with the tomatoes, and stir in the crab meat.
- Now gently fold the mixture until the crab meat is warmed through, this should take a few minutes.
- Slice your lemon in half and squeeze a bit of lemon onto the pasta and check for seasoning. Add seasoning and more lemon if needed.
- Serve and enjoy with a nice cold glass of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon/Fume Blanc or a Riesling.
