Peel garlic and cut into thin slices. Squeeze out juice from the lemon.
Rinse chile pepper, wipe dry, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and chop flesh finely.
Rinse parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop coarsely. Chop the fennel.
Drain crabmeat in a sieve and squeeze to remove excess moisture.

Healthy, because
Noodles are known to make you happy - and they are also pleasantly filling, but not fat. In this combination they also provide a good mix of carbohydrates, protein and B vitamins.
Even smarter
Would you like a little more fiber and iodine? Then replace the pasta with whole wheat noodles and use Arctic crabs instead of crab meat.
