320g spaghetti

4 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp chilli flakes, or 1 red chilli, finely chopped, plus more for garnish if you like it spicy

150g cherry tomatoes

250g mixture crab meat (50g brown and 200g white), ideally Cornish

1 tbsp capers, drained and roughly chopped

Step 1 Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, add salt and cook the pasta for 9-10 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving some of the cooking water.

Step 2 Warm a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook the garlic for 1 minute. Add the chilli and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 3 Deglaze the pan with the wine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the crab meat, capers and pasta, adding a little pasta water if needed, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the coriander just before serving.

Step 4 Divide between bowls, and serve drizzled with the remaining olive oil, sprinkled with pepper and more chilli flakes, if you like, and garnished with lemon wedges.
