Ingredients

Aromatics

  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch White pepper

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 100 ml Dry white wine
  • 1 pinch Salt

Other

  • 250 g Spaghetti
  • 100 g Sea urchin roe (uni)
  • 100 g Pancetta, diced
  • 80 g Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 30 ml Pasta cooking water (reserved)
  • 10 g Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 30ml of pasta cooking water before draining.

  2. 2

    In a large pan, cook diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic to the pan with pancetta fat and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

  4. 4

    Pour in the dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.

  5. 5

    Reduce heat to low and add butter, stirring until melted and combined with the wine reduction.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan along with reserved pasta water. Toss gently to coat evenly, using the starchy water to create a silky sauce.

  7. 7

    Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Divide pasta between serving bowls.

  8. 8

    Top each serving with fresh sea urchin roe, crispy pancetta, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while warm.
