How to Make Spaghettini With Crab Lime Chilli

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghettini and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the crab mixture. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked crab meat, lime zest, lime juice, chopped chilies, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  4. Immediately add the hot, drained pasta to the bowl with the crab mixture. Toss to combine, adding a tablespoon of pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
  5. Stir in the butter until melted and evenly distributed.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra parsley or lime wedges if desired.
