Lemon wedgesred chilli slices, extra virgin olive oil – to serve
Instructions
Cook linguini in rapidly boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain all but half a cup of water. Let the linguini sit in that water until ready to add to the dish.
Heat oil in a large, shallow chef’s pan on medium-high. Add garlic and chilli flakes. Sauté for a few seconds until garlic starts browning. Add tomatoes and mix well. Increase heat to high and cook for a couple of minutes until tomatoes have softened and the mixture is starting to dry out and caramelize. Add white wine and deglaze the pan.
Reduce heat to medium. Drain and add the linguini to the pan. Add crab meat, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes until piping hot.
Garnish with red chilli slices, drizzle extra virgin olive oil and serve hot with a lemon wedge on the side.
