Prep time

Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Cherry Tomato: 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- Basil Leaf: handful basil leaves, roughly chopped
- Spaghetti: 200g spaghetti
- Lemon: zest and juice 1 lemon
- Chilli Flakes: pinch chilli flakes
- Caper: 1 tsp capers, drained and rinsed
- Crab: 2 x 170g cans white crab meat, drained
Directions
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until just pale golden, then add the tomatoes. Cook 3 mins more on a high heat until the tomatoes start to break down a little. Add the lemon juice and cook for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the crab to warm through - not too much or it will break up.
- Boil the pasta in a large pan of salted water following pack instructions then drain. Mix the pasta in the warm pot with the sauce, lemon zest and capers, and toss the basil through.
