CROMER CRAB TAGLIATELLE (serves 2)
You’ll need:
250g fresh tagliatelle
170g Cromer crab meat (or one of our extra large dressed crabs)
1 bunch asparagus, cut into short pieces
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp butter and a splash of olive oil
100ml double cream
Zest and juice of half a lemon
Small handful of parsley and basil
Salt, pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
Method:
Put a large pan of salted water on to boil.
Melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan. Add the asparagus and tomatoes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute.
Cook the tagliatelle for 2 to 3 minutes (or as per the packet), keeping a mugful of the pasta water.
Stir the cream into the frying pan, then add the pasta with a splash of the pasta water and toss until glossy.
Fold through the crab meat, lemon zest and juice, and season to taste.
Finish with chopped parsley and torn basil, and serve straight away.
