Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Put oil, garlic, chilies and a pinch of salt in a saucepan large enough to hold cooked pasta and turn heat to medium-low. Cook, shaking pan, until garlic just begins to color; turn off heat.
- When water boils, cook pasta. When it is just about done, turn heat under oil back to low and add crab; stir once or twice. Drain pasta (reserve a bit of cooking water), and toss it in crab sauce to coat. If mixture seems a bit dry, add reserved cooking water or more olive oil. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Tips
- Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred lime juice will not produce the same results.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half and half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard instead. However, the flavor will be different.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab. It should be cooked just until it is opaque and flaky.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
