Method
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water for 1 min less than the pack instructions, then drain, reserving a small cupful of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the asparagus for 2 mins or until just starting to become tender, adding the garlic and crabmeat halfway through. Stir in the cooked pasta, a splash of pasta water, then most of the lemon zest and the juice, the crushed chillies and all of the chopped parsley; toss to coat. Season generously and add another splash of the cooking water if it’s looking a little dry. Serve topped with the extra parsley leaves and crushed chillies and remaining lemon zest and juice, and oil; serve immediately.
