Dermot O'Leary's quick crab linguini recipe
- 175 g (6.2oz) Dried linguini
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 tsp Chilli puree
- 0.5 tsp Garlic puree
- 250 g (8.8oz) White crab meat
- 100 ml (3.5fl oz) White wine
- 50 g (1.8oz) Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 handful Fresh basil, to garnish
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add a good pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add the linguini and cook for 10 minutes until just al dente, tender but firm to the bite.
- Drain in a colander and then refresh under cold running water - this will prevent the pasta from sticking.
- This can be done a good few hours before needed.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chilli and garlic purees.
- Add the crab meat, white wine, butter and seasoning and mix gently to combine.
- Add the cooked linguini and stir to heat through.
- Serve in a large pasta bowl with torn basil leaves sprinkled on top.
