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!

Notes
The perfect salad to accompany this is rocket with baby tomatoes.
