Directions

Boil the linguine in heavily salted water until perfectly al dente, making sure to reserve a splash of pasta water before draining.

In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and gently fry the shallot and chilli until softened. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and let them blister and break down, releasing their sweetness. Add the butter, garlic, and lemon zest, letting everything sizzle together for a couple of minutes before pouring in the lemon juice and a splash of white wine. Let it cook down for another two minutes so the flavours can meld.

Stir in the crab meat along with a little pasta water and the chopped parsley, letting it gently warm through. Add the drained linguine to the pan, tossing everything together until the sauce clings to the pasta in a silky, glossy coating. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and serve immediately.
