Sea Urchin Pasta
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 4
- 500g/1.1lbs spaghetti
- 8 sea urchin roe plus 8 extra to decorate
- 125g/4ozs. butter, melted
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 50g/1.7ozs. butter
Step 1 - Boil the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water. Meanwhile, blend the 8 sea urchin roes and then add the melted butter and blend again to form a sauce.
Step 2 - In a small saucepan heat the remaining 50g of butter. Add the panko breadcrumbs to this and then cook until the breadcrumbs are browned and smell nutty. Put aside.
Step 3 - When the pasta is cooked, drain and then toss in the sea urchin butter (pulse it again in the food processor just before doing this to make sure that it is emulsified). Place on serving plates and add two sea urchin on top of each plate and then do with the buttered crumbs.
