This is a fresh crab and garlic linguine packed with flavours. Rich and garlicky, with a hint of heat from the chilli. Moist and full flavour comes from the brown crab meat and parley-garlic-olive oil sauce. Freshness! No cream! The result was fantastic! 🙌

NOTE: Fresh brown and white crab meat will be available at your local fishmonger and it is usually already cooked.

Steps

1

PASTE. In a food processor/blender, add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1/2-1 red chilli (with seeds), handful of parsley, 4 tablespoons olive oil. Blend. Set aside paste in a big bowl or a mortar.
2

GARLIC & CHILLI. Finely chop the 2 remaining garlic cloves and 1 red chilli (deseeded). Add them to the bowl/mortar with the paste (Step 1). Crush the mixture altogether in the mortar to release all flavours.
3

COOK PASTA as per Pack instructions. Drain.
4

CRAB SAUCE. Add all the cooked crab meat (white and brown) to the mixed garlic & chilli bowl (Step 2). Stir. Pour 1/2 cup or 120 ml olive oil. Add zest and juice of 1 lemon. Mix everything (see pic).

PUT TOGETHER! Pour pasta in a heated pan. Toss in the crab, garlic and olive oil sauce (Step 4). Mix until pasta is coated. Salt to taste. Garnish with parsley and greens (I used watercress)! Enjoy 😉
