Tips/Tricks
- fresh crab meat is always best but if not available you can substitute with tinned • Not a fan of coriander? You can use finely chopped chives instead
- feel free to substitute the pasta type if you like
- adding the starchy pasta water back in to your pasta helps the ingredients stick to the pasta and adds extra flavour
- salt your pasta water – it should taste like the sea!
