Method
1 Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water, following packet instructions.
2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the leek, chilli, garlic and ginger and fry for 5min until softened. Add the tomatoes, the crabmeat, wine and 50ml (2fl oz) cold water. Bring to a simmer, stirring, then cook for 10min until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture becomes a sauce. Add a splash of water if the sauce looks too dry.
3 When the pasta is cooked, drain and tip it back into the pan, making sure you leave a little water clinging to the pasta. Add the sauce, toss well, then add the lime juice and scatter over the coriander. Spoon into bowls and serve immediately.
