Crab and Mascarpone Charcoal Tortelloni with Garlic, Chilli and Parsley

Ingredients

    Crab and Mascarpone Charcoal Tortelloni with Garlic, Chilli and Parsley

    • 250g crab and mascarpone tortelloni
    • 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
    • 1 red chilli finely chopped
    • A squeeze of lemon juice
    • Small handful parsley leaves, finely chopped
    • A few tablespoons olive oil

    Directions

      Method

      1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
      2. In a frying pan, gently cook the garlic and chilli in the olive oil until fragrant - a couple of minutes. Take care to stir often so the garlic doesn’t burn.
      3. Add a squeeze of lemon and a splash of the pasta water, followed by the pasta. Shake and stir the pan to emulsify the sauce.
      4. Serve immediately scattered with the parsley.
