Ingredients

15g butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
270g pack cherry vine tomatoes, chopped
500g fresh Essential Tagliatelle
2 x 100g Seafood & Eat It Fifty Fifty Crab
90g wild rocket
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, to serve

Method

Heat the butter in a medium-sized saucepan and cook the garlic, chilli and lemon zest for 5 minutes, until the garlic begins to turn golden.
Add the tomatoes, cover and simmer gently for 5-8 minutes until softened and pulpy. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling, lightly salted water for 3 minutes.
Stir the crab into the tomato sauce, season and add lemon juice to taste.
Reserve a little pasta water. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the crab sauce and rocket and toss together, adding a dash of pasta water if it seems dry. Divide between serving bowls and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper

Cook’s tip

If you prefer a milder crab flavour, switch one of the packs of crab for a pack of white crab meat. Or for a variation, try swapping half the crab for small cooked prawns.
