Method
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the breadcrumbs for 5 minutes until golden, stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the parsley. Set aside and wipe the pan clean.
- Cook the spaghetti or linguine in a pan of salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil and the butter in the pan over a low-medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt and fry for 7 minutes to soften. Stir in the crab, chilli, lemon zest and juice.
- Toss the pasta in the pan with a splash of its cooking water. Stir in most of the breadcrumb mix. Season, divide among the bowls, then top with the remaining breadcrumbs to serve.
