}}

This is my version of Jamie Oliver's [[Crab]] Linguine, adapted for two people using [[Home made pasta|home made pasta]] cut into rustic strips rather that linguine. I've dressed it with fresh [[Parsley|parsley]] and [[Grilled|grilled]] [[Sweetcorn|sweetcorn]] as I can't wait for another chance to play with my Rothenberger MAPP blowtorch!

I've used 2 packets of premium claw [[Crabmeat|crabmeat]] from Morrisons, about £3.75 per carton ''Dec 2014''.

This was one of the nicest [[pasta]] dishes that I've ever made. I'm sure it would be even better made with fresh [[crab]]. The [[sweet corn]] was absolutely essential for the balance of this dish, it's sweetness of setting the lemony tang.

====Best recipe review====

''Fennel chilli kick!''

4.7/5 

I thought these flavours would override the crabmeat but they were really rather good.

===[[Mise en place]]===

* If you're using [[Fresh pasta|fresh pasta]], don't forget that you are best leaving it in the [[Fridge|fridge]] for an hour or so before you roll it out. For this recipe I'm assuming that you have your [[Pasta|pasta]] already sorted!

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Add the [[Crabmeat|crabmeat]] to a bowl and add a pinch of [[Black pepper|black pepper]], a good pinch of chopped [[Parsley|parsley]] and any of the green [[Fennel tops|fennel tops]] if there are any.
| Cut the base of the [[Fennel|fennel]] and trim any grotty bits.
| Grate the [[Fennel bulb|fennel bulb]] into the [[Crab|crab]]. I've used my new [[Jamie Oliver acid etched coarse grater]]. If you have one, mind your fingers. It does a blinding job but it is dreadfully sharp!
| Using a small microplane [[Grater|grater]], add the [[Zest|zest]] of the [[Lemon|lemon]] to the [[Crab meat|crab meat]].
| Deseed the both of the [[Chillies|chillies]] and chop finely. Add half to the [[Crab meat|crab meat]] and keep the remainder for dressing the dish.
| Stir up the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] with the [[Juice|juice]] of the zested [[Lemon|lemon]] and mix this together with the chopped [[parsley]], into the [[Crab meat|crab meat]].
| Gently heat the [[Crab meat|crab meat]] in a separate pan and cook your [[Pasta|pasta]] in a large pan of [[Boiling|boiling]] water. 3 minutes for [[Fresh pasta|fresh pasta]], 7 minutes + for [[Dried pasta|dried pasta]].
| While the [[Pasta|pasta]] is cooking, [[Microwave|microwave]] the [[Sweet corn|sweet corn]] for a few minutes and toast it with your blowtorch if you have one. See here for more.
| Drain the [[Pasta|pasta]], keeping back a ladle of the cooking [[Liquor|liquor]].
| Mix the [[Pasta|pasta]] into the [[Crabmeat|crabmeat]], adding an eggcup full of the pasta water to thin the [[Sauce|sauce]] if needed.

===Serving suggestions===
