Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic fat cloves
- 2 red chilli chopped
- 4 spring onions sliced - including the green parts
- 6 tomatoes cut in to wedges
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 cup white wine about 300ml
- 400 g linguine
- 50 g butter
- 400 g crab meat It’s expensive so for family night I’ve mixed the 200g of fresh with a tin of the pasteurised stuff
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 20 g padano cheese
Instructions
- Get your salted water boiling for the pasta. It should taste like the sea.
- In a large saute or frying pan (large enough to add your pasta at the end) put a splash of olive oil add the butter and when it’s melted over a low heat add the garlic and chilli and cook for a few minutes being careful not to let it burn.
- Then add the spring onions and cook for a couple more minutes.
- Next add the wine and reduce until it becomes almost like an emulsion.
- Add the tomatoes and cook until they start to break down. (8mins)
- Meanwhile add your linguine to the water and cook according to the pack instructions.
- When cooked make sure you reserve about 50ml of the salty water to add to your sauce and drain the pasta
- Finally add the crab, lemon zest and juice, parsley and pasta water to your garlic and chilli mixture then stir through the pasta making sure it’s all coated and sprinkle with the cheese
