Spaghetti Granchio

Method

1. 1

   Cook spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chilli — cook 2 min without colour.

3. 3

   Add cherry tomatoes. Cook 3 min until just collapsing.

4. 4

   Stir in crab meat, lemon zest, and half the parsley. Warm through 1 min.

5. 5

   Drain spaghetti. Add to the pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss vigorously.

6. 6

   Finish with lemon juice, remaining parsley, and cracked pepper. No cheese — it kills the crab.
