Ingredients

  • 200g spaghetti
  • 50g salted butter
  • 1 shallot , finely sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves , grated
  • 100g brown crab
  • 30g parmesan , grated, plus extra to serve
  • 10g chives , finely chopped (optional)

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once foaming, stir in the shallot with a pinch of salt and a few twists of black pepper. Cook for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden, then turn the heat to low.

  2. Move the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan, then stir in the crab, a ladleful of pasta water and the parmesan. Mix very thoroughly, tossing well and adding more pasta water if needed, until glossy.

  3. Serve with more parmesan and a sprinkling of black pepper and chives, if you like.
