Spaghetti with Crab, Chilli, Coriander and Lime

Boil a pan of salted water and cook spaghetti (or linguine) for four people according to the instructions on the packaging. Chop a couple of large fresh red chillies and 2 cloves of garlic and gently fry in a generous splash of olive oil. Meanwhile open a couple of tubs of fresh crab. I use 1 x white, 1 x brown meat which is sufficient for four meals; add an extra 100g pot if you are crazy for crab. Finally chop a bunch of coriander.

When the pasta is cooked, drain and then add in the oily garlic and chilli, plus the juice of one lime, and season to taste. Top with the crab and coriander and another drizzle of olive oil.  And that’s all there is to it !

Ingredients:

2 or 3 100g pots of crab meat
