Nigella Lawson - Linguine with Crab, Chilli and Watercress

Linguine with crab, chilli and watercress
"Nigella Fresh" by Nigella Lawson
Ingredients
* 2 cloves garlic
* 1 scant tablespoon Maldon or other sea salt
* 1 large red chilli
* 2 pounds 11 ounces undressed crab, to give you 7 ounces darker meat
* 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* Juice and zest of 1 lemon
* 1 pound linguine
* Handful fresh parsley, chopped
* Handful watercress leaves, roughly torn
Preparation
Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta.
In a large pestle and mortar, pulverize the peeled garlic cloves with the salt, so that it makes a smooth paste. Then add the chopped and seeded chilli and crush again until you have a gloriously red-tinged mixture. Tip in the crabmeat, breaking it up gently with a fork, and pour in the oil. Zest the lemon into the mortar and then add the juice.
Using a fork, beat well to mix, and then you are ready to cook your pasta. So do so, and then drain the pasta and tip into a warmed serving bowl. Immediately pour over the crab sauce and toss the pasta about in it, then throw in the parsley and watercress and toss again.
Serves 6 as a starter; 4 as a main course.
