This fresh crab and pea fettuccine is a vibrant, high-protein dish that celebrates delicate coastal flavours. By combining sweet lump crabmeat with bright garden peas and a subtle heat from fresh red chilli, you create a sophisticated yet effortless meal. The use of fresh semolina pasta ensures a silken texture that perfectly carries the light, buttery sauce, while a finishing squeeze of lemon juice provides a refreshing citrus lift to the savoury seafood.
Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch, this recipe is as nutritious as it is delicious. The inclusion of fresh parsley and spring onions adds a layer of herbal complexity that balances the richness of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. For the best results, serve this elegant pasta alongside a crisp glass of white wine to complement the sweetness of the crab.

Ingredients for Fresh Pasta with Crabmeat, Peas and Chilli
Fresh semolina fettuccine
80g thinly sliced spring onions or spring onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
230g lump crabmeat, picked over
80ml fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 (3-to 4-inch) fresh red chilli, such as serrano, thinly sliced, or 1/4 teaspoons hot red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
How to make Fresh Pasta with Crabmeat, Peas and Chilli
Cook fettuccine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes. Reserve 240ml cooking water, then drain pasta.
While pasta water comes to a boil, cook spring onions in 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 120ml pasta-cooking water, peas, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper and cook 1 minute. Add crab and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add pasta, lemon juice, cheese, chilli, and remaining tablespoon each of oil and butter and stir to combine well, adding more cooking water to moisten if necessary. Remove from heat and stir in all but 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve pasta sprinkled with remaining parsley.
