Directions
-
Get a large pot of water on to the boil. Once boiling, add a good pinch of salt and the angel hair pasta. Stir, then cook until al dente. This will only take a few minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and add the spring onions and the chilli. Cook for one minute, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute, or until garlic starts to turn golden. Add all the wine and allow to bubble away for a minute or two, or until it reduces by half. Add the lemon juice and rind, a good splash of olive oil and the crab meat. Toss quickly.
-
Drain the pasta and immediately add it to the pan. Toss to combine and coat the pasta. Throw in the fresh parsley and a good grinding of black pepper. Serve immediately drizzled with a little olive oil.
