Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Dice the onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely slice the garlic. Finely slice the chili pepper. Roughly chop the basil leaves. Heat plenty of olive oil in a pan; do not overheat. Lightly fry the onions, garlic, and chili pepper. 2 minutes before the pasta is cooked, add the crab to the pan. Thaw frozen crab beforehand or fry them at the beginning. Add the pasta from the pot directly to the pan and toss for 1-2 minutes. Stir in some arugula (about 10g) and the basil, and season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, toss the remaining arugula (40g) with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, and mix briefly. Transfer the pasta to the plates and serve with arugula salad as the crowning touch.
