Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the grill to high (240C)
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to the boil
- Pull out a medium baking dish, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a sieve, a grater & a measuring jug
Grill & boil
- Halve the courgettes lengthways, then cut into 1cm thin half-moons on an angle
- Lay the courgette flat onto the medium baking dish, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill on the top shelf of the oven for 10-12 mins, until beginning to soften
- Meanwhile, add the fusilli to the saucepan and simmer for 10-11 mins, until cooked. Reserve 80ml pasta water (40ml for 1 person), then drain. Stir 1/2 tsp olive oil through the pasta to prevent from sticking
Prep time
- Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the shallot. Finely chop or crush the garlic
- After 10-12 mins, add the shallot, garlic and half the tomatoes to the baking dish with 2 tsp olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then grill for a further 10-11 mins, until the tomatoes are soft and the courgette is golden
Make the crab mix
- Finely grate the cheese. Zest and halve the lemon. Finely chop the parsley
- In the small bowl, combine the crab with one-quarter of the yoghurt, a pinch of lemon zest, salt and pepper
Bring everything together
- After 8-10 mins, remove the baking dish from the oven and stir in the mustard, reserved pasta water, remaining yoghurt, a pinch of lemon zest, half the parsley and three-quarters of the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper, mix until combined, then stir in the cooked pasta
- Spoon the crab mixture over the top of the pasta, scatter with the remaining cheese and the half pack of pea crumb. Grill for 5-6 mins, until golden and bubbling
Plate up
- To the medium bowl, add the rocket, the juice from half the lemon and the remaining parsley and tomatoes. Toss to mix and season with salt and pepper
- Share the crab pasta bake between bowls, with the salad alongside. Serve with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
