Ingredients

  • 150 g of crab meat
  • 200 g of spaghetti, or linguine
  • 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp of chives, finely chopped
  • 100 g of asparagus tips
  • 1 knob of salted butter
  • 1 fresh chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
  • 0.5 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.
