• 250 gram(s) spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
• 1  leek, chopped
• 1  red chilli, deseeded and chopped
• 2  garlic cloves, sliced
• 5cm (2in) piece fresh ginger, grated
• 4  ripe tomatoes, diced
• 2  dressed crabs
• 2 tablespoon(s) dry white wine
• Juice of ½ lime
• 1 small handful coriander, freshly chopped

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.
