How to Make Crab And Zucchini Linguine

  1. Gently pick through the 200g of crab meat to remove any shell fragments.
  2. Finely shred the two medium zucchinis. Alternatively, coarsely grate or use a mandolin slicer.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the shredded zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened but not browned.
  4. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and 1-2 finely chopped red chillies (adjust to taste). Cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently fold in the crab meat.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the 250g linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes, or according to package directions.
  7. Lightly drain the linguine, reserving a little pasta water if needed. Add the linguine to the pan with the crab and zucchini mixture. Toss to combine.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
