About £0.69 a plate if you bought it all. Less with what you've already got.
The app checks what's already in your fridge, prices it at your shop and runs the timers for you.
You'll need
- Pasta300g
- Crab meat150g
- Fresh chillies1
- Garlic2 cloves
- Lemons1
- Parsley15g
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Cook the pasta (300g) in salted water (10 min). Keep a mug of the water.
Kitchen note Salt the pasta water until it tastes like the sea. Before you drain it, scoop out a mugful of the cooking water. A splash of it loosens any sauce and makes it cling.
- Gently fry the sliced garlic (2 cloves) and chilli (1) in plenty of olive oil (2 min).
Kitchen note Garlic burns in seconds and goes bitter, so add it after the onions have softened and keep it moving for about a minute.
- Add the crab, lemon zest (1) and juice and warm through.
- Toss with the pasta, a splash of the water and chopped parsley (15g).
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
