Ingredients

  • 200g spaghetti, or linguine
  • 100g asparagus tips
  • 150g crab meat
  • 1 knob salted butter
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 fresh chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • ½ lemon, zest and juice

Method

Step 1

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to pack instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a frying pan big enough to hold the pasta.

Step 3

Add the chilli and garlic, then the asparagus and cook for 3 mins, or until the asparagus starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the crab meat to heat through, remove from the hob.

Step 5

When the pasta is ready, drain (reserving a little cooking water) and add to the asparagus pan. Place back on the heat, add the chives, lemon zest and juice and toss well, adding a little of the pasta water if needed. Season and serve with an extra glug of oil.
