Step 1

Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-low heat. Trim the fennel, pick and reserve any leafy tops, then halve the bulb and finely slice it. Place in the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook with the lid on for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving a cupful of cooking water.

Step 2

Seed and finely slice the chili, stir into the fennel pan, and cook uncovered until soft and sticky, stirring occasionally. Halve the tomatoes and toss into the pan for 2 minutes, followed by the crabmeat and, 1 minute later, the drained pasta. Loosen with a splash of reserved cooking water, if needed, then season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle over any reserved fennel tops, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.
