Crab Chilli and Basil Linguine
Nothing says an Italian summer like fresh seafood pasta with a hint of chilli heat.
175G dried linguine
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp chilli puree
1/2 tsp garlic puree
250g white crab meat
100ml white wine
50g unsalted butter
Salt & pepper
Fresh basil to garnish
Step 1
Bring a large pan of saucepan of water to the boil, add a good pinch of sea salt and a little olive oil. Add the linguine and cook for 10 minutes until just al dente, tender but firm to the bit. Drain in a colander and then refresh under cold running water to prevent sticking. This can be done beforehand.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chilli and garlic purees.
Step 3
Add the crab meat, white wine, butter & seasoning and mix gently together to combine.
Step 4
Add the cooked linguine and stir to heat through. Serve in a large pasta bowl with torn basil leaves sprinkled on top.
