  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and add the linguine. Cook for 9 mins. Drain, reserving a cupful of the pasta water. 
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic and chilli for 30 secs until fragrant. Add the drained pasta, the crab meat, parsley and lemon zest, and toss together for 1 min until the crab has heated through. Add a about 6 tbsp reserved pasta water, and a squeeze of the lemon juice. Toss again and season. Add more lemon juice to taste, if you like, then serve.
