Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta for 10-12 mins until just tender. Add the peas to the pan with the pasta after 10 mins. Reserve 3 tbsp of the pasta water, then drain well.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in the lemon juice and zest and cook for 1 min. Add the drained pasta and peas and season well with black pepper. Stir in the crabmeat, basil and red chilli, if using. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if not saucy enough. Serve immediately.
Leftovers: Use the rest of the crab, chilli and lemon to make spiced fishcakes by mixing with mashed potato, shaping into patties and frying until crisp and golden.
