A cheap, easy, one-pot dish that is yummy and healthy. This pasta dinner is a great one to rustle up from pantry ingredients and a great way to introduce seafood to kids (or skeptical adults!).

Course: Dinner, Lunch
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
  • enough spaghetti for 4 people (about 300-400g), ideally wholegrain (gluten free is fine)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and/or broad beans (fava beans)
  • 1 tin crabmeat
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (de-seeded if you are not a fan of heat)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti to packet instructions, adding in the peas and/or beans for the last 4 mins. Drain (reserving a little of the cooking water), then return (along with 2 tbsp water) to the pan to keep warm.

  2. Pour over the olive oil and add the other ingredients, then mix well and serve straightaway (warm slightly over a low heat if it's not hot enough).
