Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Finely slice the garlic and chilli, then quarter the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Step 2.
Drop the tagliatelle into the boiling water and cook for 1 min less than pack instructions.
Step 3.
Meanwhile, heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli then cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins until both are soft. Turn the heat up to medium-high, add the cherry tomatoes and pour in the white wine.
Step 4.
Simmer for a couple of minutes until the wine has reduced by half, then turn off the heat under the pan and stir through the crab. Once the tagliatelle is cooked, transfer the pasta directly into the sauce using tongs. Add a splash of the pasta cooking water to create a luscious sauce.
Step 5.
Stir through most of the parsley, zest in the lemon, then season to taste with salt, lots of black pepper and lemon juice.
Step 6.
Divide between two bowls, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and scatter over the remaining parsley, to serve.

Works with the tinned jumbo crab meat if you can’t find any other crab. Would recommend!
