Dermot O'Leary's quick crab linguini recipe

1. 1

   Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add a good pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

2. 2

   Add the linguini and cook for 10 minutes until just al dente, tender but firm to the bite.

3. 3

   Drain in a colander and then refresh under cold running water - this will prevent the pasta from sticking.

4. 4

   This can be done a good few hours before needed.

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chilli and garlic purees.

6. 6

   Add the crab meat, white wine, butter and seasoning and mix gently to combine.

7. 7

   Add the cooked linguini and stir to heat through.

8. 8

   Serve in a large pasta bowl with torn basil leaves sprinkled on top.
