Not surprisingly, this was rather bland with tinned crab, and needed pepping up with lots of chilli and strong cheese grated on top. Definitely one to make with the real stuff (the cat, however, was less discerning).
Makes enough for 2. You'll need:
crab meat (a little will go a long way here - and you could get away with white or brown meat)
2 red chillies
1 clove garlic
a small bag or bunch of rocket (if you don't have any, courgette (finely diced and fried gently in a little olive oil) is a great substitute
zest and juice of a lemon
a tablespoon of good olive oil
lots of black pepper
your linguine/spaghetti of choice
Decant your crab meat into a bowl. Stick the chillies and garlic in a pestle and mortar, and pound away until they're nicely pulverised. Add the olive oil and mix well until it turns to a lovely slush. Add the zest and juice of a lemon, and mix everything with the crab meat.
Meanwhile, stick your linguine/spaghetti into a pot of boiling water, and cook until al dente. Drain, and bung back into the pan. Fling in the crab mixture and the rocket, and stir through the pasta.
Add lots of black pepper and some grated cheese (parmesan would be nice).
