Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or low calorie spray
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 red chilli deseeded and finely diced
- 400 g | 14oz tin chopped tomatoes
- 500 ml | 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tsp sugar or sweetener
- 1 tsp salt
- 200 g | 7oz bucatini pasta
- 200 g | 7oz crab meat I used tinned lump crab meat
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- freshly ground black pepper to season
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- grated cheese such as Pecorino, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large lided pot. Add the onion, garlic and chilli and fry, stirring, for 4 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Add the sugar and salt.
- Add the pasta and once it softens slightly press it down to that it is submerged in the sauce.
- Cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes (usually +2 minutes to whatever the optimum pasta cooking time is), occasionally stirring to make sure nothing sticks.
- Once the pasta is cooked al dente, add lemon juice and crab meat and toss to combine.
- Add the lemon zest, check the seasoning and add pepper and salt, if needed.
- Serve sprinkled with the parsley, with a little grated cheese if you like.

Notes
- If you wish to double the recipe to serve 4, make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate the pasta and sauce and stir frequently to avoid it sticking.
