LEMONY CHILLI CRAB LINGUINE

Pastas like this have always been my favourite, just those simple but perfect flavour combinations. I used a tin of white crab meat here (£1 in Home Bargains so definitely the cheaper option!) but it would be even lovelier I’m sure with fresh crab if you can get it!

  1. I’m not an expert on wines and will just be buying a small bottle. Which white wine would you use on this recipe xx.
