Method

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil for the pasta and salt it once it boils.
2. Meanwhile wash the cherry tomatoes and halve them; chop the parsley; check the crab meat and remove any bits of shell by running it through your fingers.
3. Add the spaghetti and cook for the time on the packet, usually 9–11 minutes, until al dente.
4. Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat with the crushed garlic and a pinch of chilli for a minute, until the garlic sizzles without browning; add the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
5. Add the crab meat and warm it for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring gently: it's already cooked and only needs heating through. Remove the garlic.
6. Drain the spaghetti, keeping a small ladle of the cooking water, and toss them in the sauce for a minute, loosening if needed; finish with the parsley.
