Sea Urchin Spaghetti Recipe

Sea urchin or uni is rich in addition to creamy. It tastes rattling briny in addition to yet sweet. Emulsified amongst some extra virgin olive stone oil in addition to lemon juice, it makes a wonderful sauce for pasta. The type of pasta y'all move is upwards to y'all of course, but isn't it gorgeous on squid ink pasta? I beloved the hold off in addition to flavor of squid ink pasta. It's such a treat! I got mine from Mattarello, a fresh pasta companionship run past times John Pauley in addition to his married adult woman Anna.

I was a fan of John's pasta dorsum when he was nonetheless cooking at Rex Cafe around the corner from my house. Now he sells his pasta at popular ups, to a greater extent than oftentimes than non at either Gourmet in addition to More on Franklin or Biondivino vino store on Green Street. His squid ink pasta is thus expert y'all tin bask it amongst only a unproblematic olive oil, garlic in addition to white vino sauce amongst a fiddling fighting of chili flakes or parsley. He too sells lasagna, tortellini in addition to some unlike shapes in addition to styles of pasta, all made past times hand.

Note: Another alternative is to brand the sauce in addition to altitude the pasta amongst some other type of seafood instead of only to a greater extent than bounding main urchin. It's delicious amongst sautéed scallops or shrimp.
